Canonization of Brother André
This coming October 17th, Brother André will be canonized at St. Peter's Square in Rome. This is a rendez-vous which should not to be missed by all persons who desire to celebrate this unique event in the history of the Church, and will take place on Saturday, October 30th at 2 P.M. at the Olympic Stadium in Montréal. A Diocesan committee is presently planning various activities to mark this event in our Diocese as well as the means by which we will participate in the event in Montréal on Oct. 30th. So that all persons from the Diocese may be able to be gathered together in one group at the Stadium, a section has been reserved for our Diocese and tickets have been purchased. Therefore, the delegation from the Diocese of Québec will be gathered together in one group. Agreements are currently being negotiated with various coach lines who will assist with the transportation to this event. More details concerning the manner in which you may reserve your tickets by the Diocese, or to avail yourself of the coach transportation services, will be communicated to you near the end of August, or beginning of September. We encourage you to think of a contact person in your community who could look after this. For further information, you may contact:
Mrs. Barbara Villeneuve, Project Manager, at 418-688-1211, ext. 360, or e-mail at frereandre@ecdq.org

Departure of Marc Cardinal Ouellet
All the population is cordially invited to a great feast of appreciation for Marc Cardinal Ouellet; a special Mass will be celebrated at the Basilique Sainte Anne de Beaupré, on Sunday, August 15th at 3:00 p.m. Cardinal Ouellet will be meeting with the general attendance following the Eucharist celebration. To help us more appreciate who Cardinal Ouellet was, we are making available excerpts from a reflection written by Canadian Father Thomas Rosica, in response to the news that the Archbishop of Québec was appointed the prefect of the Congregation for Bishops, a copy of which is available in the atrium - we encourage you to read this worthwhile farewell testimonial.

5th 'Festival de la Bible: L'écologie, de la Bible à nos jours'.
From the 27th to the 28th of August, come to the Montmarte canadien in Sillery for this fascinating opportunity to reflect, share and celebrate, through seven conferences, five workshops, testamonials, and prayer. The conference will look at the following questions: Will Christians lag behind in the increasingly ecologically conscious world? Are we not instead urged to develop a deeper understanding of Creation? For more information, contact: festival@lemontmartre.net, or call P. Benoît Bigard, a.a. at 418-682-9917, ext. 405, or visit our website, at: www.lemontmartre.net

This year's theme is: 'Our Grandparents…builders of the future!' For more information, please visit their website at www.institutfamille.org/JGP
