Diocesan Microsite dedicated to
Holy Week and Easter 2021!
The Catholic Church of Montreal has you in mind!
We’ve scoured the Internet and come up with a wide range of ideas for you, taking into account your interests and the age group you belong to: adults, young adults, teens, children and families.
The time has come near…
Make this time of slowing down an opportunity to prepare for the most beautiful Easter Season of your life!
The Catholic Church in Montreal has prepared “playlists” with lots of ideas of things to watch, to listen to, to do or to pray at home for all ages to help you to do so. Music, videos, acts of service, podcasts, meditations, Ways of the cross, recipes: so many ways to prepare for Easter!
In this time of conversion and of blessings, let’s prepare to receive the Life of the Risen Lord and become “an Easter people whose song is Alleluia” (John Paul II)!

Share Love, Share Lent:
(Re)discover Development and Peace
The Share Love, Share Lent campaign is inspired by Pope Francis’s encyclical, Fratelli Tutti and its call “for a love that transcends… geography and distance” and “allows us to acknowledge, appreciate and love each person.”
Each week, the campaign explores a different aspect of Development and Peace’s work and offers you ways to become involved.
This week, the Share Love, Share Lent campaign looks at how your solidarity is meaningful for Rohingya refugees and their host communities in Bangladesh. Please pray for communities affected by crises and help us to keep supporting them by contributing to the collection on the Fifth Sunday of Lent.
