Parish Mission (Night 2) - “You can become a parent and never mature as a parent. Similarly, you can become a disciple and never mature as a disciple.” ⁦@mcregitz⁩ ⁦@SaintBP⁩ ⁦@DivReno⁩

We invest a great deal of time and financial resources in ensuring that newly ordained priests get proper and effective leadership training.

Agreed. There is a very important clarification and nuance in understanding the term “blessing” - grateful for @PillarCatholic

[Bishop Scott McCaig @bishopscmc]

Headlines this morning about same-sex blessings are very misleading. This is a helpful summary explaining what the declaration actually says. https://t.co/u3lT3Dqjlg

Thanks to Fr. Dan’s shameless revelation of his love for ketchup chips last Sunday ⁦@SaintBP⁩ we are stocked up with storm chips

Praying for everyone impacted by the storm 🙏🏽

[Fr. James Mallon @FJMallon]

@frsimoncc @CompanionsCross @SaintBP Great homily Fr. Isaac! You preached truth in love and also threw @frsimoncc under the bus with wonderful artistry.

[Fr. Simon Lobo @frsimoncc]

Six ⁦@CompanionsCross⁩ in our Halifax Foundation (from left to right): seminarian Manas, Fr. Yves, yours truly, Fr. Tim, Fr. Isaac, Fr. Dan

[Fr. Simon Lobo @frsimoncc]

Just a reminder that we are cancelling 12:15pm Mass today @SaintBP so we can all gather together at 7pm @HolyTrinity_NS (4 Beaverbank) for the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, our big @CompanionsCross Feast!

[Fr. Simon Lobo @frsimoncc]

Thanks for that powerful homily Fr. Isaac (even if I did get thrown under the bus…twice 😆) @CompanionsCross @SaintBP

[CompanionsoftheCross @CompanionsCross]

Check out Fr. Isaac's homily from the Mass of Commitment! Our mission will fail if we are divided.

Inspired by the feast of St. Martha (pray for me!), I decided to read (for the 2nd time) one the books that has most impacted me in the last few years:
“The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry” by John Mark Comer

[Fr. Simon Lobo @frsimoncc]

Getting to visit the ⁦@CompanionsCross⁩ in Saint John, NB. Fun fact give Fr. Isaac’s homily ⁦@SaintBP⁩ yesterday… the priest in the middle, Fr. Dennis, heard my 1st Confession 35 years ago!

[Fr. Simon Lobo @frsimoncc]

Or is Fr. Isaac on my right and Fr. Dan on my left? 🤷🏽‍♂️
Fr. Isaac is the super tall priest 😁

[Fr. Simon Lobo @frsimoncc]

It’s a bit surreal, but this is the first weekend @SaintBP when we have both of our new associate pastors: Fr. Isaac, on my left, and Fr. Dan on my right.

[Fr. Simon Lobo @frsimoncc]

Last night the roads were pretty crazy (I have firsthand experience). Today driving from Lower Sackville to @SaintBP was all clear. We’re going ahead with Mass at 4pm Sat if anyone is wondering.

[Fr. Simon Lobo @frsimoncc]

Just saw the #SoundOfFeeedom - powerful, disturbing, definitely encourage you to go see this in theatres. Due to heavy downpours we lost the sound (ironically) and it had to be restarted 3-4x…but it was worth waiting for.
