SHRINE OF BLESSED BASIL MOREAU

 

Final vows program

The young religious of Holy Cross participating in the “final vows program” are in France for 15 days to walk in the footsteps of Blessed Basile Moreau, to discover more about their founder and the charism of the Congregation. They come from all over the world (Peru, Ghana, India, Bangladesh, Mexico, Brazil, France, United States, etc.) and are accommodated at La Solitude.

On Friday, July 4th, they were accompanied by Tiphaine Hamerel for a guided tour of the Holy Cross cemetery in the morning, then a guided tour of the Shrine of Blessed Basile Moreau in the afternoon, followed by mass around the tomb of Father Moreau, and finally a guided tour of the Saint-Julien cathedral.

The highlight of the day, according to Chris Mulholland, C.S.C., was attending mass in the Shrine, during which Father Moreau’s chalice was used. To see pictures, check our Facebook page.

End-of-pastoral-year Mass and farewell for Father Paul-Elie

On Sunday, June 29, the thanksgiving mass for the pastoral year was celebrated before the summer break and the departure on vacation for some. Father Paul-Elie Cadet, csc, presided, and Fathers Joseph Ganzalves, csc, and Eric Schimmel, csc, concelebrated.

A time of conviviality around a barbecue was organized at the end of Mass in the diocesan house, due to the work going on in the presbytery.

This mass was also that of saying goodbye to Father Paul-Elie at the end of his mission this summer as parish priest and rector of the Shrine of Blessed Basile Moreau. Thanks to him for these fruitful 6 years at the service of the parish and the shrine!

Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus

Mass of the solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus was celebrated this morning at the Shrine by Father Joseph Gansalvez, csc. Father Eric Schimmel, csc, resident at Notre Dame du Lac, was passing through Le Mans and concelebrated. We are in a union of prayer with all the priests and especially the Salvatorists of the Holy Cross Congregation!
