With the theme “My heart exults in the Lord”, 1 Sam. 2, four of our sisters celebrated the jubilee of their religious profession: 70th, 60th. Father José Vieira Arruda, pastor of our parish, St-Arsène, celebrated the 25th anniversary of his ordination to the priesthood.
The celebration began with a Eucharist celebrated in our chapel which was magnificently decorated with fresh flowers. “What joy to welcome you here to sing and to pray together! A jubilee is a poem of gratitude drawn from great fidelity in the day to day life of 25, 60 and 70 years of priestly and religious consecration. Congratulations!” Such were the words addressed to the jubilarians, the guests, the presider at the Eucharist, Father José V. Arruda and to the concelebrant, Father Robert Boivin, by Sr. Yolande Crépeau, the local animator.
