Greetings!
How I get to know the missions
One of the wonderful parts of this job as president of Catholic Missions In Canada involves the trips I must make periodically to visit the missionaries and their communities across the country. .
By now, I have been at places in the eight provinces where we assist mission dioceses, and one of the three territories (Yukon). I always encounter surprises and delightful discoveries when I arrive at a new location, and see the local church through the eyes of the missionary and the lay people who have a vested interest in their own place in God's creation.

Missionary Sister reflects on serving for 50 years with the Little Red River Cree Nation
If I look back, I realize that this is the 48th Christmas letter I have written since I have been in the North, the first one written back in December of 1962.
With nostalgia in my heart, I realize that this will likely be the last of the many I have sent over the years. Yes, it seems that this is really and truly our last year in John D'Or Prairie, Alberta. Read more... |

Peaceful parish on the Lower North Shore
BY SISTER CATHERINE ARSENAULT, C.S.M.
