  • Second Annual Archbishop's Dinner
    Second Annual Archbishop’s Dinner Hyatt Regency Hotel 30 October 2013 Brother Bishops and Reverend Fathers: Sisters and Brothers; Distinguished Guests; Ladies and Gentlemen: Introduction Before sharing some remarks, this evening I would especially like to recognize once again Bishop-elect Mark Hagemoen, President of Corpus Christi College and Principal of St. Mark’s College, on his appointment as the sixth Bishop of McKenzie-Fort Smith, one of the most extensive dioceses in the world, with 1.5 million square kilometers and stretching to the North Pole. His dynamism, creativity and pastoral sense will be sorely missed. Father Mark is the fifth priest of our Archdiocese to be named bishop in the last eleven years, and the second this year, with Bishop Stephen Jensen now in Prince George. These appointments indicate the Holy Father’s recognition of the strength of our presbyterate, for which we are all extremely grateful. As well, our congratulations go to Bishop Richard Gagnon of Victoria, one of our Vancouver priest-bishops, whom Pope Francis named two days ago as the new Archbishop of Winnipeg. We are honoured this evening by the presence of Archbishop Paul-André Durocher, President of the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops. I am very grateful to all of you here tonight at this second Annual Archbishop’s Dinner. Our Archdiocese is blessed by the faith, your enthusiasm, your spirited participation in the life of your parishes and our local Church. All I can say is Deo gratias, thanks be to God for all of you and each one of you. Especially deserving of our thanks, as well, are our patrons and sponsors listed in your program, and those unable to be with us who have made generous donations of support.

  • "For the Pope, the Most Important Thing Is Prayer"
    TESTIMONY OF THOSE WHO LIVED WITH JOHN PAUL II SOURCE: L'OSSERVATORE ROMANO "For the Pope, the Most Important Thing is Prayer" WHERE IS THE CENTER OF THE WORLD? REMEMBERING JOHN PAUL II SIX YEARS AFTER HIS DEATH By the Assistant Papal Master of Ceremonies Konrad Krajewski We were on our knees at the bedside of John Paul II. The Pope was lying in the semidarkness. The soft light of the lamp lit up the wall, but he was clearly visible. When a few moments later the time came when the whole world would know, Archbishop Dziwisz suddenly stood up. He turned on the light in the room, thereby interrupting the silence of John Paul II‟s death. In emotional but surprisingly steady tones, he began to sing, in his typical mountain lilt, prolonging one of the syllables, “We praise you, O God: / we proclaim you as Lord”. The sound seemed to come from Heaven. We all look wonderingly at Fr Stanisław. However with the light on, in singing the following words, each one of us found reassurance: “Everlasting Father, / All the world bows down before you”. Here, we thought, we are in a totally different reality, John Paul II has died: this means that he lives forever. Even though we were shaken by heartfelt sobs and choked by tears, we went on singing. With every word our voices grew stronger and louder. The hymn proclaimed: “You overcame the power of death / Opening the Father‟s Kingdom to all who believe in you”. Thus, in singing the Te Deum, we glorified God, clearly visible and recognizable in the Pope‟s person.

  • The Holy See
    The Holy See ADDRESS OF HIS HOLINESS POPE JOHN PAUL II TO MEMBERS OF THE SAINTS PETER AND PAUL ASSOCIATION Saturday, 28 June 1997 Dear Brothers and Sisters, 1. I am pleased to welcome you for the 25th anniversary of the foundation of the “Association of Sts Peter and Paul”, an association desired by my venerable Predecessor Paul VI. I extend my greeting to each one of you with the words of the Apostle Peter: “To those who have obtained a faith of equal standing with ours in the righteousness of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ: grace and peace” (2 Pt 1:1-2). I thank Mr Gianluigi Marrone who has expressed the sentiments of all, your chaplain Mons. Carmelo Nicolosi, and his assistant, Mons. Franco Follo. I add a particular remembrance for Mr Pietro Rossi, President emeritus, and Archbishop Giovanni Coppa, the first chaplain, now Apostolic Nuncio in the Czech Republic, and the late Mons. Nicolino Sarale, who spent much of his priestly energy among you. 2. Twenty-five years have passed since Paul VI of venerable memory wanted the great tradition of the Palatine Guard of Honour to continue in a way more in keeping with the changing times. These 25 years of activity document that the tradition was wisely developed in line with its original spirit. In keeping with the motto inherited from the Palatine Guard: “Fide constamus avita”, you have not only persevered in the faith received, but grown in it through your careful catechetical meetings, your active liturgical service in St Peter’s Basilica and your charitable activity in the Dono di Maria Home and at the dispensary for immigrant children, next door to the Casa Santa Marta.

In February 2003, Pope John Paul II named Father Ga- gnon a Prelate of Honour, in recognition of his faithful service to the Church and exemplary performance of his duties.

  • Telegram of Condolences for the Death of Cardinal Giovanni Coppa, Noted Latin Scholar and Papal Representative
    N. 160517a Tuesday 17.05.2016 Telegram of condolences for the death of Cardinal Giovanni Coppa, noted Latin scholar and papal representative Vatican City, 17 May 2016 – Pope Francis has sent a telegram of condolences to Cardinal Angelo Sodano, dean of the College of Cardinals, following the death yesterday of Cardinal Giovanni Coppa, of the Italian diocese of Alba. In the text the Holy Father expresses his sincere admiration and esteem for a "man of the Church who lived faithfully his long and fruitful priesthood and episcopate in the service of the Gospel and of the Holy See", and recalls with gratitude his "generous and competent" work as the "diligent collaborator with six popes who entrusted delicate and important offices to him." Francis recalls that the departed Cardinal was first called to the Apostolic Chancery, then continuing his mission in the Secretariat of State. He cooperated in the work of Vatican Council II as a Latin scholar, as an assessor at the Secretariat of State, and as a delegate in the papal representations, always giving witness to "pastoral wisdom and thoughtful attention to the needs of others, reaching out to all with goodness and gentleness". As papal representative at the apostolic nunciature in Prague, he dedicated himself "intensely and fruitfully to the spiritual good of the nation". "I offer heartfelt prayers so that, by the intercession of the Virgin Mary and St. Ambrose, of whom he was a renowned scholar, the Lord may welcome the late cardinal in His eternal joy and peace, and I send my apostolic blessing to all those who share in the sorrow for the loss of this zealous pastor", concluded the Holy Father..

Why would a Catholic tourist go there? Put simply, it is the Cathedral Church of Rome and since 312 AD has been the Episcopal Chair of the Popes as Bishops of Rome and where the Papacy was situated until 1377 when the Vatican became the Papal residence. St. John Lateran, however, remains the Pope’s Cathedral Church, not St. Peter’s Basilica. On the great façade, which was slightly damaged after a bomb exploded following John Paul II’s assertive preaching against the Mafia in Italy, you will find these words in Latin: THE MOST HOLY LATERAN CHURCH, MOTHER AND MISTRESS OF ALL CHURCHES OF THE CITY AND THE WORLD. It is not without significance for us Canadians that at the recent Canonization of St. Kateri Tekakwitha, St. John Lateran hosted a gathering for First Nations People at which the new documentary on her life, produced by Salt and Light Television, was premiered. St. Kateri was a simple and devout Mohawk woman who witnessed to the love of Jesus during the early years of contact between Europeans and the Indigenous Peoples of the New World—she is called the “Lily of the Mohawks.” This now leads me to my topic for this article.
