RALLY IN PETERBOROUGH ON SEPT. 30, 2017Media Release - September 29 2017WORLD COMMUNICATIONS DAY - Solemnity of the Ascension of the LordWorld Communications Day 2017 - Sunday, May 28, 2017 is the 51st WCD celebrated by the Roman Catholic Church worldwide. The Message of Pope Francis is entitled "Fear not, for I am with you (Isaiah 43:5): Communicating Hope and Trust in our Time". In 2017, World Communications Day will be celebrated on the Solemnity of the Ascension of the Lord. In his Message, the Pope expresses his desire "to contribute to the search for an open and creative style of communication that never seeks to glamourize evil, but instead to concentrate on solutions and to inspire a positive and responsible approach on the part of its recipients." CELEBRATING THE SACRAMENT OF CONFIRMATION IN OUR DIOCESEMany young people will receive the Sacrament of Confirmation on the Solemnity of Pentecost. Young people in parishes and Catholic schools supported by their families and sponsors have been preparing to receive the sacrament through catechetical instructions and special projects that included apostolic service, reflections on the Mass, learning about the lives of saints and meeting with their pastors. May God bless these young people as they receive this third sacrament of initiation. JUNE CAMPAIGN - PRIEST BENEFIT FUNDGive to those who have given a lifetime.
