  • 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.

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.
