Catholic Church of Montreal 2021 Annual Campaign
“On a mission: Growing. Stronger. Together.“
The 2021 Annual Campaign, starting this weekend, features four people from our diocese on a mission with the worthy task of promoting and serving spiritual life and love in the various spheres of family, work, society and Church.
And in spite of the current challenging circumstances, these individuals have made and continue to make a difference in their communities.
They have found new ways to be present and supportive in the mission, bringing new hope through their involvement during these times of crisis.
Witnessing the love of God also means contributing to the joy, the love, the well-being and the dignity of individuals, families, youth and humanity as a whole.
Let’s support the Catholic Church of Montreal in its mission to serve and respond to the needs of our community. Together, with the grace of God, we can meet these challenges.

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.
