Today we celebrate the Solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord. In a quiet moment that changed the course of history, Mary’s humble YES opened the door for God’s promise to be fulfilled. Through her trust and surrender, the Word became flesh and dwelt among us.

Today the Church celebrates the Solemnity St. Joseph, the spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the foster-father of Jesus. As the protector of the Holy Family, he is invoked to watch over the Church and the people of Canada. St. Joseph, pray for us.

In preparation for the Act of Consecration to Our Lady on the Solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord, all are invited to join us in prayer after Mass from Sunday, March 22nd to Wednesday, March 25th. Access the prayers through clicking on this link: tinyurl.com/37bzvsbw
