On Tuesday, January 14, St. Ann’s Parish in Duncan will host a visit of the relics of St. Kateri Tekakwitha, St. Jean de Brébeuf, St. Charles Garnier, and St. Gabriel Lalemant.  This visit is part of a national devotional tour which is offering Canadians the opportunity for an encounter with these great saints to receive the graces of healing and reconciliation for themselves, their families, and our country.  The relics are expected to arrive at 11:30 am and will be welcomed by members of the Cowichan Nation.  Celebration of the Eucharist will follow, and the relics will remain at St. Ann’s until 5:00 pm, open to all who want to visit and pray. 

Mass times at parishes across our Diocese for Christmas (Dec 24/25) and the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God (Dec 31/Jan1) are listed on the Diocesan website (click Image for the linked information). More information will be added as it becomes available.
