We were honoured to have two veterans visit our parish recently to share some of their experiences and stories of war-time service. Mr. Roy Lamore and Mr. Bill Bissonette offered an inspirational message for the parishioners who took part in the gathering.
Our guests are pictured below with Fr. Terry and some of the younger parishioners. The event was organized by the Catholic Women's League of our parish.
"Almighty ever-living God, hear our prayers for those who died in defence of country and freedom; grant them eternal rest, and peace to us who keep faith with them, that we may be instruments of your reconciliation and peace, following the example of your Son. Who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen."
(Opening Collect for Mass on Remembrance Day)
