New this Week:
1. St. André Bessette Relics Coming to PEI: From Saturday July 6th to Friday July 12th, major relics of St. André Bessette will be brought to 7 Churches in our Diocese. At each Church there will be Mass, devotions and a talk by Fr. Jomon Kalladanthiyil C.S.C Ph. D , who is a member of The Holy Cross Fathers from the Oratory of St. Joseph in Montreal.
