World Day for Grandparents and the Elderly – Sunday July 28
Pope Francis’ theme this year is: “Do not cast me off in my old age” (Psalm 71:9). The Catholic faithful are invited to reflect on the loneliness of the elderly, encouraging us to “take a new path” and to spend time with them, “acknowledging their unique role in the family, in society and in the Church…” Click here for Pope Francis’ message. The CCCB has prepared a toolkit of resources: an official logo, a catechesis on old age, recent texts from the Magisterium, the official prayer for the World Day, and pastoral suggestions.

Photo Gallery of the Diocesan Multicultural Mass & Celebration
St. Boniface Cathedral was packed on Canada Day morning as Bishop LeGatt presided over the diocesan multicultural mass. Diversity was in the spotlight, thanks to the participation of numerous cultural communities. Many thanks to the following groups: the Congolese Catholic community, the Nigerian Catholic community, St. Philip Minh parish, Nuestra Señora de la Asunción parish, Couples for Christ, Missionary Families of Christ, Handmaids of the Holy Child Jesus, the Chinese Catholic community of Mary parish, Mother of the Church, representatives of the French-Canadian Catholic community. The Most Reverend Michael Apochi, Bishop of the Diocese of Otukpo in Nigeria, was also in Winnipeg to celebrate with us.
After mass, the faithful were able to sample dishes from these many cultures, and enjoy traditional and contemporary music from these groups. The little ones enjoyed a variety of games. Many thanks to the many people who volunteered to help prepare the event and on the day itself.
