Testimonials - Canonization of Brother André


We share with you the testimony received
for the canonization of Blessed Brother André



Elizabeth, Carleton - (Gaspesia) - Québec - Canada

Hello!
 
We're pleased to report that the prayer sheets and booklets that you sent us have been laid out for visitors to the Oratoire Notre-Dame-du-Mont-Saint-Joseph, and in our church, near the statue of Saint Joseph, where we've also erected a statue of Brother André.
 Every Wednesday, the Oratoire hosts a guided prayer session, somewhat like the one led by the priest at the Oratory in Montreal after the 10 a.m. mass.
As for the lovely photos you sent, we hung three in the Oratoire Notre-Dame-du-Mont-Saint-Joseph, and the remaining ones will be displayed in our church
in Carleton in October, in honour of the canonization.
 
Thank you!
Elizabeth, Carleton
