We recently celebrated World Marriage Day within our parish, at St. Louis Church and at our area residential care facilities. We thank all 37 couples who participated and Msgr. Labrie, Fr. Kent Ouellette and Fr. Phil Cyr for presiding at the Masses. It was a very special day for the couples. They received a flower bouquet, cupcakes, a photo and many smiles. Below is the list of our couples and their years of marriage in 2026:

Lent is a sacred season of prayer, fasting, and conversion. For our OCIA candidates, it marks a time of deep spiritual preparation as they draw closer to receiving the sacraments and entering full communion with the Church. This journey mirrors Christ’s own path to the cross—a path of surrender, trust, and love. As our candidates reflect on their relationship with God, may they be strengthened by grace and supported by our prayers. Let us walk with them in faith, offering encouragement and hope as they continue toward the joy of Easter.
