March for Life - Candelight Vigil - May 7, 2024


I met Barb at the Rideau Centre and we walked over to Saint Theresa Catholic Church for Mass at 7:30. Archbishop Yvan Presided gave the most beautiful homily. I hope I can find it somewhere so I can share it with you. Deacon Guy and Darcy provided the music beginning with a Hymn to Our Lady of Guadalupe and later, during the Preparation of the Gifts " I will never Forget you". It was reminiscent of the Pilgrimage of Pro-Life Masses. Thank you guys! 

I took a short video of the final blessing below


After the final hymn, "Lord Jesus of you I will Sing as I Journey " we were each given a candle and passed the flame to one another and then processed to the Human Rights Monument.

As we were leaving the Church Barb and I met Francis Barrett our long-time friend and pro-Life hero who was standing at the back of the church. Frank age 90 took the bus from his home at the Rockliffe Residence. God bless you, Frank
