The Mauritian
community of Toronto came together on Sunday September 7th, 2003 to
celebrate the feast of the Spiritan's Blessed Jacques Laval. The Mass
was held at the Church of Saint Louis-de-France in Toronto, presided
over by Fr. Paul McAuley, CSSp who spoke to the congregation about
Fr. Laval's life and work in Mauritius and the example he gave us in
his acceptance of and collaboration with the underprivileged of
society. No Mauritian gathering would be complete without a wonderful
meal. Everybody had brought their own special dish and all was shared
out over the rest of the afternoon. The weather was perfect for the
day and all who attended took home good memories of another Laval Day celebration.
