Canadians to Celebrate the Feastday of St. Josemaria for the First Time
Canadians will be filling churches throughout the country to celebrate the first liturgical feastday of Saint Josemaria Escriva, who was canonized by Pope John Paul II on October 6th 2002.
Over 800 Canadians of all ages traveled to Rome in October to join a crowded St. Peter’s Square. Below is a list of the Masses that will be celebrated in different parts of the country.
A relic of Saint Josemaria will presented for public veneration after the Mass in some of the churches.
