A) Ontario:

1-Gathering in Dryden…

From July 22-27 was held a family Camp in Dryden. Faithful from Manitoba and Saskatchewan joined their Dryden friends for six days of fun, but also of learning, and prayer. The Dryden people organized everything very well, and Father Rusak was there as Chaplain, and gave six Catechism Classes everyday! Boys and girls took part in crafts, canoeing, volleyball, etc.

2-Rev. Father Sulzen, from Toronto, sent us some news about his camps…

Father Sulzen organized, this year again, two camps called “Canadian Martyrs Camps”. The one for the boys took place from July 9-15, and the girls had theirs from July 15-22. Both camps were held at Camp Attawandaron, west of London. Six Seminarians, some Sisters and lay folks assisted Father. The attendance was as follow: Boys: 31; Girls: 24

A lot happened recently at Holy Family School and Parish in Lévis… Let’s evoke these events in a chronological order:

On June 17th, Joseph-André Roy received his Law Degree from Laval University. He is here with his parents, Mr. And Mrs. Patrick Roy. Congratulations!

We had a Corpus Christi procession, June 18th, at the Precious Blood Residences, Lévis.

On June 21st, Mr. Jean-Claude Dupuis, long-time teacher at our school, defended successfully his History Thesis at Laval University. The subject was not a popular one nowadays: “Catholic Liberalism in 19th Century Canada”. Mr. Dupuis thus earned his Doctorate of History. He is seen here among former students.Congratulations Doctor Dupuis for your PhD!

There was a delicious Pig Roast at Holy Family School, June 24th. L. to R.: Fr. De l’Estourbeillon, MM. J. Goyette, B. and A. Lapointe, organizers.

Three weeks later, on July 16th , Fr. Mark Stafki, newly ordained SSPX priest, gave his “First Blessings” at the school, where he helped (and even learned French) last year.

We also did our yearly pilgrimage to St-Anne-de-Beaupré Shrine, from Québec City, which is 35 km away. It is done in one day.

As you can see, things moved around quite a bit in the Belle Province. And some of us even went to France! Indeed, two families from Lévis went to a ceremony of Religious Profession of Dominican Sisters held August 4^th in Fanjeaux, France. They met with some of their children who have embraced the consecrated life.

Finally, let us mention there has been a series of weddings in Quebec, and even one in France (Mr. François Blanchet). So many that we have lost count! Tradition will get bigger soon!
