  • 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.

  • Habemus Papam Franciscum Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, SJ
    See Page 2 See Page 14 See Page 10 ICS Students Victoria’s First share the Love Appeal in Action Nightfever and Light of Event Journ Hearts & Hands Christ The Diocesan MessengerApril 2013 A Publication of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Victoria St. Francis Enters the Habemus Papam Lateran by Bishop Richard Gagnon Franciscum If you are a visitor to Rome and have a little time on your hands, you will probably find yourself standing in front of the Lateran Basilica or San Giovanni in Laterano, as it is called. 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.

    Bethlehem University Foundation SECURING BETHLEHEM UNIVERSITY’S FUTURE // ANNUAL REPORT 2019 Bethlehem University Foundation Dear Friends, Thank you for your support of the Bethlehem University Foundation. Your generosity helps to create a bright future for the students and the community in the Holy Land. You make peace possible through education. I am honored to serve as the Executive Director of this Foundation. During the past year, I took Bethlehem University’s message of hope to gatherings in the United States and beyond. We engaged new and old friends in our mission of supporting Bethlehem University. Last year was the most successful in the history of the Foundation. Our success means added support for Bethlehem University. This good news is due to the enthusiasm, generosity, and commitment of people like you. For your support, I am eternally grateful. Bethlehem University is an “Oasis of Peace” in a land marked by conflict. But if peace ever comes to the Holy Land, it will be through peaceful people. Students educated at Bethlehem University are those peacemakers and you are helping to form these future leaders with your support. I should note the hard work and dedication of the Board of Directors and staff of the Foundation. I must add a special word of gratitude to the Patrons of the Foundation; those individuals and couples who generously invest in the future of Bethlehem University and serve as ambassadors of the Foundation. Together, we are making a difference in the lives of people in the Holy Land. I thank you for your support, but more importantly, your friendship.
