1…As I stand on the ground where you stood And I walk in your footsteps I imagine the way that you felt And the thoughts you were thinking Could you see my face in the crowd And that I loved you Refrain Totus Tuus Totally yours Totus Tuus Totally yours The rock and the lamb The Lord and the man Totus Tuus Totally yours 2…You told us that people must be free Every heart must be open You said that justice is the key But it takes our love to turn it You said that you believed in me You said you loved me (Repeat refrain) 3… And we will follow you Yes, we will follow you wherever you lead For we believe your message is true And we will follow you Yes, we will follow you wherever you lead For we believe your message is true (Repeat refrain) (Repeat verse three).

As a side note to this, about 11 years ago two dear friends of mine , 
Diane Naipaul and Gemma O'Sullivan organized a special mass with
 prayers for the Healing of the Nation of Canada click here  ( Diane's website) 
which was held at Saint George Parish. 
I'm thinking that  Canada as a Nation is so in need of healing, now more than ever 
Jesus heal our nation! Bring your people back!
We have strayed so far from you! Help us to enter through the narrow gate!
Give us courage to always proclaim your truth lovingly but honestly. Amen

Corpus Christi Procession - Saint Catherine of Sienna Metcalfe - June 19, 2022

Thank you Father Hezuk Shroff!

In honor of the Solemnity of Corpus Christi, which was celebrated in our Archdiocese this year on Sunday, June 19, the parish had a Eucharistic Procession after the 11 am Mass. This took place outside the church but remained on church property. The procession concluded with the Divine Praises and Solemn Benediction inside the church.

All were welcomed and most encouraged to attend this procession in honor of Jesus, truly present in the Holy Eucharist!


O Sacrament most holy,
O Sacrament divine,
all praise and all thanksgiving
be every moment Thine!
