March 18th, 2025, Mass for the Holy Face:

Fr. Shroff will be offering a special Mass as follows:

Tues Mar 18 at 7 pm at St. Peter's Parish (1640 Heatherington Road, Ottawa, ON). Holy Face Chaplet begins at 6:45 pm.  There will also be Adoration of the Holy Face Image prior to Mass dismissal.  Following that, a couple additional reparation prayers will be prayed, and then a light reception will be offered.

Once the details for the reception are settled, we will pass them along.  We would be most appreciative of food contributions. Since, we are in the great season of Lent, the fare will be kept simple & appropriate.  

Please share this information with the folks you know who would appreciate Fr. Shroff's efforts to offer a Novus Ordo Mass with chant, graduals, tracts & propers from the traditional liturgy in Latin, & would be interested in attending. 

The date of this special Mass is significant, due to a triple conjuncture:

1) It is the Vigil of the Solemnity of good St. Joseph, the patron saint of the Universal Church, of Canada & of our own little apostolate here in Ottawa - St. Joseph's Missionaries of the Holy Face!

2) It is the 149th anniversary of the passing of Venerable Leo DuPont - the Holy Man of Tours!

3) This Mass is being offered on a Tuesday - commemorating the feast day of the Holy Face on Shrove Tuesday!

Lord willing, see you there!
