Issue #227

OVER 800 MISSIONARIES OF MERCY WILL BE COMMISSIONED BY POPE FRANCIS on Ash Wednesday to carry the Good News of God’s mercy and forgiveness throughout the world. Three Priests from the Diocese of Hamilton are among the 800. Father Michael King, Father Bill Trusz, and Father Ted Hughes have been approved by the Vatican to provide this service during this Year of Mercy. They will travel to Rome early in February to learn from Pope Francis what his expectations are and to be sent out on this special mission. We offer our thanks, our congratulations, and our prayers.

BEFORE CELEBRATING THEIR CHRISTMAS PROCESSION (ORTHODOX) on Wednesday evening, a delegation from Holy Trinity Ethiopian Orthodox Parish on Aberdeen Avenue in Hamilton (formerly St. Boniface German Parish) visited the Diocesan Chancery to express their gratitude to the Diocese for making the church available to them. They spoke movingly about the young men from their Ethiopian Orthodox faith martyred on the beach last year. Father Aba Gebreeyesus presented the Diocese with a beautiful historic Cross as an expression of their thanks. We wish them many blessings as they begin worshipping in their new church.
