Diocesan 2025 Jubilee Advent with Bishop Michel

Diocesan Invitation for the 2025 Jubilee Advent: In these days as we are entering a time of vigil, a time of waiting which is Advent, let the Lord teach us Himself the path, as the prophet Isaiah invites us to do, from the First Sunday of Advent. “Come let us go up to the mountain of the Lord!” Let Him teach us his ways, and we will go by His paths. It is good for us to adopt the attitude of vigilance of Jesus himself to his Father in heaven. Prayer occupies a central place in His life. He was nourished by the psalms from an early age, praying them in the synagogue, during his pilgrimages to Jerusalem and with his disciples. To pray the Psalms today is to engage with the official prayer of the Church: The Liturgy of the Hour, also called the Divine Office, Prayer of the Present Time or Breviary. The daily life of the Church is spread throughout the day. She is the source of spiritual and apostolic life for everyone. Four occasions are offered to us for a Celebration of Advent Vespers. They will take place in the Christian communities in our Diocese and will be presided over by our Bishop, Mgr. Michel Proulx 0. Praem. Come and share this experience of a Church in prayer. Join us on each Sunday of Advent at 3:00 pm at the following Churches throughout the season of Advent: November 30th at St. Michael’s Church in Inkerman (French) December 7th at St. John Bosco Church in Dalhousie (English) December 14th at St. Isidore’s Church in Saint Isidore (French) December 21st at Sacred Heart Cathedral in Bathurst (French)
