A little more than one month after posting about the parish collection for the Ministry To Seafarers - Montreal six of our members went on a two hour tour of the Port of Montreal and of the Seafarers Centre in the Old Port area! We were taken care of by two amazing staff members - Michelle and Patty - who enthusiastically spoke about the intense work they do and about the people they serve. We had so many questions, they answered them all and even let us decorate some bags, to be used for smaller gifts to the seafarers who will come through the Port on June 25th, International Seafarers Day!
Thank you and may God bless the Ministry To Seafarers - Montreal for the important work they do - taking care of, giving hope to and accompanying seafarers from around the world on their physical, emotional and spiritual journeys 🚢⚓️🙏

A huge thank you to all parishioners who donated items for the Ministry To Seafarers - Montreal (M2S) Christmas Parcel campaign back in November! Our members sorted and packed the items and then took them to the M2S headquarters in Old Montreal on December 1st! Hundreds of cards were written as well by members to add to all of the parcels that were given out on the ship by M2S volunteers in December and January. What a blessing to be able to share some Christmas spirit with seafarers who are so far from their homes and families. Every parcel shows them that they are seen and loved.

Much of Canada is experiencing “extreme” fire danger conditions, with many other areas at “very high” or “high” risk. Numerous wildfires are actively burning across the prairie provinces. In his 2015 encyclical on the environment, Laudato Si’, Pope Francis identified contributing factors for the degradation of the environment and affirmed the “very solid scientific consensus” that climate change is occurring.

We are called to Care for Our Common Home in the ethical and spiritual understanding of the relationship between God, humans and the earth. Members are urged to unite in prayer for all creation being affected by wildfires.
