Dear Readers, A spirit of prayerful respect animates the pastoral ministry at Saint Joseph's Oratory. It allows us to welcome and to serve pilgrims and believers of all faiths. The seriousness with which we take our responsibility complements the efforts of other groups working together in mutual support so that we may present a unified message in our communications.
In the footsteps of Saint Brother Andre who is at the center of this place of pilgrimage, we are guided by his spirit of kindness and compassion so that we may respond to the inner longings and needs of all who are committed to seeking God.
God's word of mercy is central to our liturgical celebrations, especially the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
In the end, we hope to provide an island of tranquility to afford you peace of heart and a milieu employing art and music to lift your spirit.
Welcome and Godspeed to you under the protection of Saint Joseph and Saint Brother Andre!
Father Pierre Dufour CSC Vice-rector for Pastoral Ministry |
