Dear Friends,

Peace to all of you!  

February 20 is the feast day of Saint Jacinta and Saint Francisco Marto, two of the three seers of Fatima. Our Lady entrusted them with her powerful message of peace and love for the world, especially during tumultuous times. We find ourselves in a critical moment, with an urgent need for their intercession and prayers for Canada and lasting global peace. The situation is dire, and we need our Blessed Mother's intercession now more than ever. In addition, let us also keep Pope Francis in our thoughts and prayers as he battles pneumonia in the hospital.

We Canadians have wandered far from how we should live, which Jesus came to teach us to live. Instead of embracing life, we are embracing a culture of death.  The Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops consecrated Canada to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Our country desperately needs our prayers. Join us in praying this novena to the Immaculate Heart of Mary for Canada which will be available in the coming days, to bring us back to the way and the life Jesus has taught us to live!

Thank you for your unwavering commitment and support. Your prayers and actions are not in vain, they are making a significant and tangible difference in our world.
