Monday of the First Week of Lent

Convert us, O God our Saviour, and instruct our minds by heavenly teaching, that we may benefit from the works of Lent. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

BISHOP SIMARD BEGINS IN VALLEYFIELD




Among the duties Bishop Noel Simard exercised before his transfer to Valleyfield was that of Ontario State Chaplain of the Knights of Columbus

Not surprisingly, then, a good delegation of the KofC leadership and membership was in attendance at his installation service in Valleyfield last Thursday.  

Past Ontario State Deputy Arthur Peters kindly emailed me these excellent photos which he took that evening:
