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 qa 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.

BAPTISM PREPARATION:

Will be on Monday, October 19th at 6 pm at the Cathedral for parents and Godparents. Please call the Cathedral Ofice at 709-634-5161 to register.

DIOCESAN FAITH FORMATION:

In our September conversation we began by looking at the state of faith formation in our diocese by asking the questions: “what are we trying to accomplish? Are we accomplishing it? And what do we need to do in order to accomplish it?” Some of our conversation focused on the importance of a deeper encounter with Christ. This was important at all stages of life, from children to seniors, from lay people to clergy. There was also a strong expressed need to support our catechists, priests and parents in their respective eforts in this area. Towards the
end of the conversation, a question was asked: how would a retreat style setting enhance the faith formation process) over and against a classroom setting alone)? This conversation has just begun, nor is it a closed one, and we encourage parishes and parishioners to engage with it, sharing their thoughts with one another on the local level and especially in their Parish Pastoral Council meetings. We will continue to keep you updated on its progress and welcome your input.
