This Day God Gives me - our pilgrimage downtown - March 17 2023

"The Joy of the Lord is our Strength"


Pat and I took the train downtown this morning for the celebration of the Holy Mass at St. Patrick Basilica at 10:am



 but first, we prayed the rosary near the abortion facility 












We sneaked in a selfie 
In the lobby across the street from the Morgentaler abortuary.  
"I don't think that would be against the law: we weren't praying"


Saint Patrick Basilica

We arrived around 9:35 and we were able to sit near the front. 
Monsignor Robert Latour, a former pastor from Annunciation of the Lord Parish 
was sitting in the front pew so I went up to say hi. 
 "Pat said I should have given him a hug but I didn't think of it"

Another priest joined Monsignor Latour after a while. 
I believe it was Fr. Pierre Champoux. Mass was beautiful of course. 

Thank you, Archbishop Marcel, 

And the music was spectacular! What an awesome choir!
