He received his Ph.D. from the University of Toronto and completed his analytic training at the Toronto Institute of Contemporary Psychoanalysis. (he will be happy to entertain questions and initiate a discussion as part of the presentation).”

“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; teach and admonish one another in all wisdom; and with gratitude in your hearts sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs to God.” (Colossians 3:16)

On Tuesday, May 21 at 7 pm, join Christina Labriola and our parish’s music director, Roy, for a practical music workshop held in the church. We will reflect on the importance of congregational song in the life of the Church, and then put this into practice by learning to sing selected chants and hymns together.

Together, our parishes, educators and families sow and nurture the seeds of faith with the next generation of Catholics, encouraging them to live lives of holiness and Christian witness as one body in Christ.
