St Matthias Day. Following the resurrection, the apostles sought to select another to replace Judas Iscariot, so that there could be the twelve. St Matthias was chosen by lot from among two: the qualifications were that the new apostle had to be a follower of Jesus from baptism by John until the Ascension, because the apostle had to be a witness to the resurrection.

Let us ask the intercession of Our Lady, patroness of our parishes, upon all mothers and grandmothers today. Happy Mother's Day!

Parishioners gather on the Fridays of May to pray the Rosary at the statue of Our Lady overlooking the Ottawa River. Today we prayed for the Holy Father's intention for May 7: for families.
