On Sunday February 28, 2021 at the cathedral in Bathurst, Msgr Jodoin made the Decisive Call of Arnoul Nya, a young adult from the Christian community of the Sacred Heart Cathedral to begin immediate preparation for the sacraments of Christian initiation. At Easter, he will celebrate the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation and of First Eucharist. He will thus become a disciple of Christ and a member of His Church. Let us be united in prayer with this young catechumen.

We are already in Lent, a time that is dear to us as believers because this time allows us to deepen our faith and to prepare ourselves well for the beautiful feast of Easter, the feast of the Resurrection of Christ but also, and we should not forget it, the promise of our own resurrection. This Easter feast is truly at the heart of our faith, the source of our joy and our hope as Christians.

This year, the World Day of the Sick is on the theme: "You have only one master and you are all brothers (Mt 23, 8) ”.
The celebration of the 29th World Day of the Sick, which will take place on February 11, 2021, in memory of Our-Lady of Lourdes, is a good time to pay special attention to sick people and to those who assist them, both in places dedicated to care and within families and communities.
