  • 1642 and 1649 by Iroquois Natives
    Canadian Martyrs Church officially blessed Half a country away, Midland, Ont., there is a shrine dedicated to eight Canadian Jesuit Martyrs killed between 1642 and 1649 by Iroquois natives. Now a new church at 5771 Granville Ave. in Richmond has been dedicated to the memory of Sts. Isaac Jogues, Jean de Brebeuf, Charles Garnier, Anthony Daniel, Gabriel Lalemant, Noel Chabanel, John La Lande and Rene Goupil, Jesuit pioneering missionaries who brought the Gospel to the Huron and Iroquois in Canada and the U.S. All were priests except the Jesuit associates Rene Goupil, who was a surgeon, and John La Lande. They were beautified by Pope Pius XI on June 21, 1925, and canonized by the same Pontiff five years later. On March 2, nearly 1,000 jubilant parishioners crowded into the new church while an overflow audience watched the dedication Mass via a closed-circuit broadcast in the parish hall. Archbishop Adam Exner, OMI, exhorted Canadian Martyrs’parishioners to adhere to their sainted patrons’ legacy of “determination, steadfast faith, and unwavering commitment to building up the Kingdom of God here on earth.” The house, he said, is a witness of their faith to all who look upon it. “The parishioners of this parish, most of them, have come from faraway countries and have seen the need to build a new parish. After much searching, the land and the church were bought. Many of you were here for the blessing of the first church. Soon after, it became clear that the church was simply too small and that a new and larger church and parish facilities were needed.

Numbering over 1,172,000, Indigenous peoples represent approximately 3.8 per cent of the total Canadian population and speak 50 traditional languages. Of the three Indigenous groups in Canada, First Nations people have the largest population (698,025), followed by the Métis (389,780), and the Inuit (50,480). Approximately 54 per cent of Indigenous people live in the country's major metropolitan centres; the rest live in smaller communities in other parts of their traditional territories. Approximately 25 per cent of all Indigenous peoples in Canada identify themselves as Catholic, and they are found in every diocese across the country.1 The basic organizational structure of the Catholic Church is diocesan. Each diocese, under its own Bishop, is responsible for its own pastoral outreach and ministry, and each diocese is the essential and primary pastoral agent in the lives of all Catholics, including Indigenous peoples. It is the local Bishop who knows best the needs and situation of the First Nations, Inuit and Métis who may be in his diocese. In addition to the outreach and pastoral ministry by the local diocese, many Canadian Catholic religious communities, men and women, continue to work with Indigenous peoples.

  • 150+ Catholic Groups Sign Trudeau's Pro-Abortion Pledge, Some Retract
    9/13/2019 150+ Catholic groups sign Trudeau’s pro-abortion pledge, some retract | News | LifeSite NEWS ABORTION, CATHOLIC CHURCH, POLITICS - CANADA Mon May 21, 2018 - 11:10 am EST 150+ Catholic groups sign Trudeau’s pro-abortion pledge, some retract TORONTO, May 21, 2018 (LifeSiteNews) — When Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government brought in a pro-abortion attestation requirement for Canada Summer Jobs grants, Canada’s Catholic bishops were quick to collectively and individually condemn the move. The Canadian Catholic Conference of Bishops denounced the attestation as “unacceptable,” as did individual bishops, and Cardinal Thomas Collins of Toronto and Archbishop Terrence Prendergast of Ottawa were notably clear Catholics could not sign it. “We cannot affirm that we support a (non-existent) right to abortion, which is what the euphemism ‘reproductive rights’ means,” wrote Prendergast in January in the Ottawa Sun. https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/150-catholic-groups-sign-trudeaus-pro-abortion-pledge-some-retract 1/6 9/13/2019 150+ Catholic groups sign Trudeau’s pro-abortion pledge, some retract | News | LifeSite “We didn’t start this controversy,” Collins told Vatican Radio in February. “We’re trying to be cooperative, but we cannot check off the box.” But despite this, at least 157 identifiably Catholic groups have done just that, according to the database of Canada Summer Job grant recipients for 2018, available online for some weeks. Of these, the majority — 107, or 68 percent — are parishes, but charities, school boards, religious orders, hospitals, a day care, and care homes are also listed. (For complete LifeSiteNews list, go here.) Most of the groups are from Quebec (45) and Atlantic Canada (73).

  • Saint Francis Xavier Relic Touches Tens of Thousands, Reaches out to Millions Coast to Coast
    Saint Francis Xavier relic touches tens of thousands, reaches out to millions coast to coast Ottawa, February 3, 2018 – Saint Francis Xavier’s right forearm is returning to its normal ​ resting place in Rome after an exceptionally busy month of mission in Canada. The major relic of one of history’s most prolific and renowned international missionaries travelled to 15 Canadian cities between December 26, 2017 and February 3, 2018 as part of a visit organized by the Archdiocese of Ottawa, the Jesuits of Canada and Catholic Christian Outreach (CCO) to celebrate Canada’s 150th year and CCO’s 30th year. “The response from pilgrims across the country has been overwhelming,” says Terrence Prendergast, Archbishop of Ottawa. "Attendance at these events has been a wonderful witness of the faith in Canada and I have been touched myself by my experience of the relic.” Organizers estimate that more than 70,000 Canadians made the special pilgrimage to see, touch and pray with the sacred relic while millions more learned about the saint and the practice of veneration through headlines and news reports in media across the country. It has been a very busy month of events, and the close of the tour is especially emotional. “It’s going to be tough to say goodbye,” said D’Arcy Murphy, the guardian of the relic during its time in Canada. “Saint Francis really feels like a close friend, and the memories of this experience will stay with me for the rest of my life. It has been a very powerful month.” “It has been incredible to watch Saint Francis Xavier inspire so many Canadians in their faith,” says Angèle Regnier, co-founder of CCO.

  • Charting the Roles of Women in the Catholic Church
    FutureChurch Charting the roles of women in the Catholic Church Current breakdown of male/female leadership in Vatican dicasteries Pope Francis has called for “a more incisive presence for women” in the Catholic Church. At the most recent Consistory of cardinals on February 12 and 13, 2015, Fr. Federico Lombardi reported that the cardinals expressed the hope of “an increasingly active role” for women. Although Pope Francis stated the door is closed on the question of ordination for women to the priesthood, he has been emphatic in his call for a stronger presence of women elsewhere. He recently appointed Sr. Mary Melone, the first women to date, to head a Pontifical University; Sr. Luzia Premoli, the first women to be appointed as a member of the Congregation on Evangelizat ion of Peoples, and has stated that women should take up positions of greater leadership within the Vatican. So how many women are in positions of leadership within the Curia? How many assert real influence? While it is difficult to accurately measure the level of influence women exercise, the chart below has been generated to further that discussion by showing the current roles women play now in Vatican congregations, pontifical councils, and other commissions, committees and offices. Secretariats, Congregations, and Pontifical Councils There are two secretariats, nine congregations and twelve pontifical councils. Below is a chart indicating the number of Vatican officials broken out in terms of male/female roles from undersecretary and above.

  • A Day for Catechists
    November 2013 A day for Catechists “Let us ask the Lord that we may all be men and women who keep the memory of God alive in ourselves, and are able to awaken it in the hearts of others.” Pope Francis – Vatican City, Concluding Mass of the World Day of Catechists, September 30, 2013 Catechists from across the Diocese of Pembroke recently gathered to not only celebrate their faith, but to learn and share with each other the common path they have taken to bring others closer to God. “This is an event for catechists to gather that the diocese is sponsoring,” explains Jason Dedo, Director of Faith Formation and Leadership Development. “It’s more of a formation day. It’s for their own reflection; to hear about some topics that would be of consequence to them working in their ministry. It’s a day for parish catechists who are working in areas of The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults, working in a Family Formation program, or working with the Sacramental Initiation process for children who are preparing to celebrate the Sacraments of Initiation or the Sacrament of Reconciliation. There’s a healthy mixture of new catechists, some who have been involved for a little bit, and some who are quite seasoned.” Throughout the day, participants had an opportunity to listen to guest speakers, including Bishop Michael Mulhall. As well, catechists had an opportunity to meet and interact with their fellow catechists from a variety of parishes. More than 50 participants from across the diocese attended a catechists’ day at “In some ways, catechists in parishes may feel like they’re working in isolation,” Most Holy Name of Jesus in Pembroke.
