Nearly 200 brave souls battled the elements in Montréal’s freak autumn snowfall last Friday to attend the Catholic Rally organized by the English-speaking Catholic Council. This biennial event brings together and showcases many of the organizations that make up the Catholic Church of Montréal. For the first time the Congrégation de Notre-Dame associates from Montréal were also present with a booth. Associates Sharon DiFruscia, Donna Quelch and Charles Taker were on hand to talk about Associate Relationship to those who called by our booth. A fair bit of interest was generated and we will be following-up over the next few weeks and inviting them to come and see who we are and what we are about.
As the Christmas Season approaches, Sisters of the Congrégation de Notre-Dame in Kingston were invited to an afternoon tea at St. Joseph’s Parish. Since the closure of our Residence on Wright Crescent, Monsignor Joseph Lynch, Pastor of the parish, has honoured us in appreciation of our involvement in the parish and open invitation to the Pastor and Priest Assistant over the years to share meals with us.
