The feast of Saint Josemaria (June 26) will be celebrated throughout Canada at numerous Masses of thanksgiving. Members, cooperators and their friends will give thanks to God for the holy life of the Founder of Opus Dei and renew their desire to find God in the ordinary affairs of each day. This year (2025) will mark the 50th anniversary of St. Josemaria's going to heaven.
Priests will be available for the Sacrament of Reconciliation before the beginning of each Mass.
In order to help each faithful participate more fully in the Eucharistic celebration, we will provide missalettes in both French and English. We encourage you to download them beforehand here (book, booklet).
