Laval Day Celebrations Sept. 2002

The Mauritian community of Toronto came together on Sunday September 8th, 2002 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. Justin Deroches, the chaplain to the Emmaus Group who organized the day's festivities. Fr. Barney Kelly, CSSp was the guest homilist and spoke on the life and work of Laval. After the Mass, Fr. Paul McAuley, CSSp, spoke briefly about the Mauritian connection to the Spiritans and invited the community to be a part of the Spiritan's ongoing mission and to celebrate the Spiritan Year, especially Pentecost 2003, the 300th anniversary. 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.
