POPE LEO’S RECOVERY:

Please remember Pope Leo in your prayers as he recovers from cancer surgery in his lung.

ROSARY IN OCTOBER:

The Knights of Columbus are inviting everyone to participate in this great prayer during the month of October. It will be at our Cathedral Church on Thursdays at 6:30 pm. This will be in the new form for public recitation as presented by St Pope John Paull II.  With the sign of peace at the end, it takes on the form of a little liturgy complete with scripture, prayer chants and action! Do come and joins us on these Thursday evenings, earmarked for renewal in our understanding of the mystery of Faith!

100th ANNIVERSARY OF HOLY REDEEMER PARISH:

Prior to 1926, the Corner Brook area was part of the
Sacred Heart Parish in Curling. However, following the opening of the paper mill in 1925 and the subsequent growth in population, the need was felt for the Roman Catholic Parish in Corner Brook. So, Holy Redeemer Parish was established in 1926. Monsignor Walter Brennan was the first parish priest and St Henry’s Chapel in Townsite served as the parish church. This year marks the 100th anniversary of a Roman Catholic Parish in Corner Brook. This milestone event, allowing Roman Catholic Catholics to practice their faith in the city, will be celebrated at the 11:00 am Mass at the Cathedral on Sunday, October 18th. Mass will be followed by the taking of a commemorative photo of all those in attendance and a reception in our newly refurbished lower level with a historical display for viewing. Please come and join us.

WORLD MISSION SUNDAY – OCTOBER 18TH:

At the initiative of Pope Pius in 1926, the second last Sunday during October became known as World Mission Sunday. Catholics throughout the world are invited to pray for and give to the missions. The collection this Sunday is organized by the Pontifical
Missions Society. The funds collected assist some 1,250 mission dioceses under the responsibility of the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples. Pastors and pastoral workers are invited to encourage among all the people of God a missionary spirit, to promote missionary vocations, and to collaborate spiritually and materially in the Church’s mission work, including support for all the dioceses in our own country’s northern regions. On the day of the collection, an appropriate petition may be added in the Prayer of the Faithful. The Mass for the Evangelization for Peoples may be celebrated on this Sunday. “How I long to find the right words to stir up enthusiasm for a new chapter of evangelization full of fervour, joy, generosity, courage, boundless love and attraction! I once more invoke the Holy Spirit. I implore him to come and renew the Church, to stir and impel her to go forth boldly to evangelize all peoples.” Pope Francis, Evangelii Gauduim 261.

BOOK OF REMEMBRANCE:

In order to celebrate the Commemoration of all the deceased during the month of November, the Cathedral will have a special book available at the front of the Church for people to write the names of those whom they would like to commemorate. The book will be placed on the weekend of October 31- November 1 and will remain in place for the month of November. Those names written in the book will be remembered at all Masses during the month.

A SHARED VISION:

Renovations at the Cathedral will create a welcoming environment that allows for greater community building and enables us to expand our pastoral ministry and presence in the community such as: Youth and Young Adult Retreats Family Nights Mom Retreats (potentially leading to a Mom’s Support Group) Dad Retreats (potentially leading to a Dad’s Support Group) ALPHA Evangelization Evenings Marriage Enrichment Evenings Enhanced Faith Formation Opportunities Retreat and Group Space as needed Diocesan Catechetical Workshops Diocesan Gatherings The space will accommodate events of all sizes and will allow for easy access to the Church as an integral part of all ministry. The Cathedral will become the central place for all Faith Formation, Evangelization and Mission in the community and in the Diocese, serving as both a model and support to all of our parishes.
