Canada Day is a statutory holiday to mark the anniversary of the Canadian Confederation which occurred on July 1, 1867. So on July 1 it's Canada's birthday. For the occasion, Toronto's Cardinal Frank Leo has released a good message. He rightly reflects on the meaning of being human, of freedom and truth. What kind of nation are we building? What are we celebrating? Here's what he says: My Dear Brothers and Sisters, May Jesus and Mary be in your hearts. In the coming days we will celebrate Canada Day, a time when we rightly commemorate what Canada is: a land of peace, opportunity, and security. Gratitude matters, and it is important to recognize our blessings and give thanks. Yet this year, I would invite the faithful of the Archdiocese of Toronto to consider a deeper, more searching question undergirding our celebrations: “Who are we becoming?” not only as individuals, but as a nation. Many of the tensions we experience today—our debates, divisions, polarization and uncertainties—…
This article was published by the National Review online on June 26, 2026 Wesley Smith By Wesley J Smith The Anglican Church of Canada has authorized clergy to bless people being euthanized just before, during, and after being lethally jabbed (when permitted by the bishop). From “Pastoral Liturgies at the Time of Death in Contexts of Medically Assisted Dying”: It is not our intent to enter into the ethical arguments regarding MAiD, nor to provide a moral argument for or against MAiD. . . . No matter where people are in their life journey, we as a Christian community and Christian leaders in particular are called to respond pastorally to the needs and concerns of the people before us. Wherever the church serves, we are the Body of Christ reaching out to the suffering, the sick, and the dying. When someone reaches out for pastoral care, the church responds: there is a duty of pastoral care. If the Anglican Church can’t enter into an ethical argument about euthanasia what is the point …
I’m sure that a number of priests have quietly celebrated a funeral Mass for someone who has chosen euthanasia? If you know this to be true, care to comment?
I went to a Catholic School from first to H.S. graduation. I can't stop thinking about it up till today. I think about it often. It was not a perfect school. But I loved it.
Here's the "Great Conversion Story of Louise Sighouin" from the Magnificat and written by John Janaro. He's an associate professor emeritus of theology at Christendom College. His blog can be found here. Sadly, this kind of evangelizing story can no longer be publicly told. Conversion to Christianity has become something negative. It's now associated with white supremacy, colonization and oppression. In Canada, the early Jesuit martyrs have been pretty much forgotten. Their story of spreading the Gospel to the Indigneous peoples of Canada is politically incorrect and often edited if told. We must not commit the woke "sin" of cultural appropriation. Nevetheless, here's the inspiring story of Louise Sighouin. In this series, we have already heard something of the mid 19th century missionary journeys of Father Pierre-Jean de Smetand his Jesuit confreres, who came from Belgium and France to Missouri beginning in 1823. At that time, Missouri was the frontier of the rapidly expanding United …
Louise Sighouin, the daughter of a Coeur d'Alene chief, embraced the Catholic faith after being baptized by Jesuit missionary Father Pierre-Jean de Smet in 1842, following the arrival of missionaries invited by Indigenous communities seeking Christian teaching. Known for her generosity and wisdom even before her conversion, she became a devoted catechist who taught the faith, cared for the sick, encouraged others, and helped spread Christianity among her people. De Smet regarded her as an extraordinary example of Indigenous Christian holiness, believing that her life reflected the transforming power of the Gospel despite the missionaries' language and cultural challenges. She remained a respected evangelizer until her death in 1853, leaving a lasting legacy within the Coeur d'Alene Catholic community.
The month of June is all about celebrating pride in Toronto. All the sexual letters of the alphabet are in full display around the city. There will be a pride parade and many other events. Even the Toronto Zoo has gone wild for pride. Schools fly the pride flag. Sporting events celebrate pride. Public libraries offer a program the drag queen story for children. But will anyone remember the murder Emanuel Jaques? He was an innocent 12 year old boy trying to earn a few dollars for his poor family. He was lured, then tortured and sodomized to death by three men: Saul David Betesh, Robert Kribs and Joseph Woods. Two were homosexuals and one a pedophile. The three were convicted of murder. Jaques was born in 1964. He was the son of an immigrant Portuguese family. He worked as a shoeshine on Yonge Street, in downtown Toronto. The boy was offered $35 to move photographic equipment from an apartment above a massage parlour. It was a lie. Once there, Jaques was sexually abused for twelve hours …

Jun 20 Father's Day: the best government policy for the family is to promote fatherhood This weekend, June 21, in Canada and the United States we celebrate Father's Day. What exactly are we celebrating? That we a have a crisis of the absent father? That too many children grow up without a father? That children raised without a father have a lot more difficulties in life? Of course none this is ever mentioned by those in charge of our institutions like schools and governments.
