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!

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!
