The Kateri Native Ministry of Ottawa is going for an outreach in New Brunswick in the beginning of the month of June, 2019.
We will have our first stop in Caraquet, NB on Thursday June 6, and spend the weekend (June 7-9) at St Ann’s Church, Burnt Church First Nation, NB.
Keep us in your prayers, as we travel to be with our people in the Eastern part of Canada.
Since we will have our Annual Healing and Reconciliation Conference on May 17-19, 2019, there will be no mass at our Bronson Centre office on the Third Sunday of May. Our mass will be at the Conference, in Plantagenet, ON. There is already another post for more information on the conference. Miigwetch.
