| Canada: St Francis Xavier Jubilee Year Celebrations | |
By Maxim D'Mello
On April 7, 1506 Francis was born in the family castle of Xavier, near Pamplona in the Basque area of Spanish Navarre. In commemoration of the 500th birthday of this great Jesuit saint and missionary, the Indian communities in Toronto are organizing various events and celebrations. The Jubilee Year commences on December 3rd 2005 and concludes on December 3rd 2006. There are many events being planned for the Jubilee Year but the four main ones are as follows: There will be a Food/Craft Fair on May 14, 2006 where people will be able to secure tables to sell various Indian foods along with numerous crafts. This will be held at Brebeuf College High School. A second event will be a summer picnic which will be held on July 15, 2006. There will be various games and activities for people of all ages and this will serve as a wonderful opportunity for members of the Indian communities to mingle and get to know each other. The third event is a parish mission made up of three parts. This mission will be held in three churches across the GTA simultaneously (Pickering, Toronto, Mississauga) on three consecutive Friday evenings. They will be held on September 22nd, September 29th, and October 6th, 2006. This arrangement will allow people to go to a church that is conveniently located for them while the 3 priests will move from one church to another on the 3 consecutive Fridays. Thus, over the 3 Fridays people will have the opportunity to hear the 3 different priests speaking on the Jubilee Year. Finally, on December 3, 2006 there will be an event to close the Jubilee Year. We will begin with a Eucharistic Celebration at noon and all South Asian priests in the GTA will be invited to concelebrate. This event will culminate the Jubilee Year and it will be another great opportunity for members of the various Indian communities to gather and celebrate their unity in diversity. Please make note of the above dates and mark them in your calendar. There will be more detailed information on each of the events as we get closer to the dates. Please pass on this information to other people who may be interested. | |
