The Archdiocese of Quebec is expecting over 50,000 people to attend ongoing celebrations for the recent canonization of Canadian saint, Br. André Bessette.
On Oct. 17, Pope Benedict XVI canonized the beloved Holy Cross religious, Br. Andre, known throughout the world for his tireless service to Quebec’s poor.
After the canonization Mass at St. Joseph’s Oratory last week, an icon of the saint was blessed and waits to be installed in a new chapel for Br. Andre.
From Oct. 29-31, large scale celebrations will be held during the “Rendez-vous saint frère Andre.”
