Pastor’s Blog – Peace be With You
April 11 is the dedication of St. Finnan’s Basilica. It is a joy for our North Glengarry Parishes, as well as for the church in the Archdiocese of Ottawa-Cornwall.
The approval by Rome recognizes in St. Finnan’s church its extraordinary beauty with a rich history! It is a great honour for all of us involved! Click here to read the full announcement.
ps. Update: May 2 is my priestly anniversary! Here is a quick interview I did sharing the joy of the priesthood!
