ARCHDIOCESE OF KINGSTON

PRAYER OF THE FAITHFUL

Statement from the Archbishop of Kingston
regarding a bulletin announcement
at St. Gregory the Great Parish in Picton
Friday, June 14, 2019

for immediate release

I understand that there was a message published in the Sunday bulletin of St. Gregory the Great Parish regarding Pride Month activities in Prince Edward County.

I did not sanction this message, and it does not reflect the spirit of accompanying charity and compassion that should always characterize our faith.

The Archdiocese has spoken with the pastor of the parish. He regrets any hurt that his inappropriate comments have caused.

PAPAL BLESSINGS

The Pastoral Centre will no longer be processing requests for Papal Blessings.

The Papal Charities Office is now processing requests directly online and no longer requires a letter from a pastor confirming that recipients are in good standing.

Please direct parishioners to the website https://www.elemosineria.va/papal-blessing-parchments/

If you have submitted a Papal Blessing request to our office in the last few months, please contact Elisabeth Santos to determine whether or not it has been processed.
