Canadian Bishops Begin their Annual Assembly

Good Evening Church - its a quiet Monday evening in these parts after a well deserved day off and I am just catching up on the movement of the Spirit in our great country. Although a quiet day for your author, our local shepherd, Archbishop Sylvain Lavoie, OMI, is joining the rest of our country's bishops for the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishop's (CCCB) Plenary Assembly in Cornwall, ON.

This annual meeting is an opportunity for the bishops of Canada to gather and share among themselves the growing concerns and issues facing the Catholic Church in Canada. 

Bishop Pierre Morissette

Of interest is the annual address of the Conference President, currently Bishop Pierre Morissette, Bishop of St. Jerome, QC. This address highlights the focus of the year's past efforts and the work of the CCCB throughout the nation and the world. It also emphasizes the focus of the this current year which can be summed up in Bishop Morissette's address as "Evanglization."
