Dear Parishioners of Ste Rose, Laurier and McCreary,

1. Covid Restric�ons li�. Beginning July 17th, faith-based gatherings are permi�ed up to 50% of a church’s capacity to a maximum of 150 people. That’s more than adequate for our needs. There is room for all now, so please come to Mass freely.

Facemasks are s�ll required, and funeral and wedding congrega�ons indoors con�nue to be limited more severely—only 25 persons may a�end in those situa�ons.

2. Our summer seminarian, Oliver Omega, arrived early in July and will remain with us un�l early August. If you fail to see him on a Sunday morning, it may be because I’ve sent him into the missions with Fr Jorge Mante as Fr Jorge visits his communi�es for Mass.

3. Some more reading on Residen�al Schools. I came across three interes�ng ar�cles recently:(1.) First, Terry Glavin’s ar�cle,“Canada’s Early Prophets were Indigenous. Now Someone is Destroying Their Churches” inThe Na�onal Post. Mr Glavin tells some remarkable stories of how some Chris�an missionaries discovered that the indigenous peoples already had Chris�an faith before the missionaries arrived.(2) Second, Tris�n Hopper’s ar�cle“How Canada forgot about more that 1,308 graves at former residen�al schools”,alsoinThe Na�onal Post. (3) Third, Douglas Farrow, a Catholic theologian at McGill has an ar�cle at firs�hings.com called“The History of Canada’s Residen�al Schools” where he considers the way we frame the history of residen�al schools.

Yours in Christ

Fr Patrick
