  • Catholic Bishops Conference of England and Wales
    CATHOLIC BISHOPS’ CONFERENCE Mass of Welcome Cardinal Vincent Nichols’ Homily westminster cathedral, 28 february 2014 Thank you, all, very much, for coming to this Mass of Welcome. You have certainly made me feel just that - most welcome and wonderfully supported by your prayers and good will. In return may I say a little about the marvellous events in Rome over last weekend. The public Consistory last Saturday was a moment of such exuberance. I enjoyed it thoroughly. And I also learned, immediately, the deep esteem and respect in which Cardinals are held. Salutes all around; a sharp clicking of heels from the Swiss Guards; freedom to wander anywhere within the Basilica of St Peter’s; endless smiles and joyful greetings! So I was able to make my way over to greet our own Cathedral Choir, singing alongside the Sistine Choir. What a special moment. Then, next day, our choir met Pope Francis personally and gave him a brief impromptu concert. He readily expressed his thanks and admiration. The choir sang on two occasions: the public Consistory on Saturday, when the 19 new cardinals were created, through the imposition of the red biretta and the giving of a ring, and the solemn celebration of Mass with the Holy Father on Sunday. I experienced these two emotional events as a real deepening of our bonds with the Holy Father, the successor of St Peter, around whose tomb we were actually gathered. They were also moments of infectious joy, shared, I believe, by all present. On the following day, Monday, we went to the tomb of St Paul, in the great Basilica just outside the walls of Rome.

  • An Introduction to the Theme of World Meeting of Families 2018 Pastoral
    An Introduction to the Theme of World Meeting of Families 2018 The theme for each World Meeting of Families is chosen by the Pope. In choosing The Gospel of the Family: Joy for the World, as the theme for the ninth World Meeting of Families in Dublin, Ireland, Pope Francis invites us to reflect on a theme that was central to the Synodal process that led to his post-Synodal Apostolic Exhortation Amoris Laetitia: On Love in the Family. ‘The Church and The Gospel of the Family’ was a key theme in the Preparatory Document for the III Extraordinary Assembly of Bishops in October 2014, a document that was the subject of unprecedented consultation among the faithful of the Church across the world. While the preparatory document does not give a specific definition of the term, ‘The Gospel of the Family’, it does convey at least three senses in which this relatively new phrase in the Church’s tradition can be understood: • The family, founded on the marriage of a man and woman, is part of God’s plan from the beginning. The ‘Good News’ of the family is therefore an indispensable part of the joyful message of the Gospel that the Church proclaims. • The family is the principal agent of evangelisation of its own members. As the first school of faith and love, the Christian family is often where we ourselves first come to know Jesus and his love. • The family proclaims the Gospel to the World. The Christian family, by its witness to the life and love of Jesus, is a principal agent of evangelisation to the world.

Since first arriving in Montreal I have admired the excellent work of the United Irish Societies and have always been a supporter. When interviewed by the CBC as Grand Marshal in 2012 I said that the UIS reminded me of a beehive because everybody was so busy. Now as President I realise just how much work is being done by so many, all volunteers. The Executive Committee and all the members who volunteer put in countless hours of their personal time to make this organization function so well. This hard work, determination and commitment results in one of the largest St. Patrick’s Day Parades in the world. This provides a great experience for Montrealers and visitors alike.
