Pope Francis mentioned during his greetings offered at the Vatican on Sunday of this week, just prior to the recitation of the Regina Caeli that there was a newly named Canadian Blessed.
His Eminence, Angelo Cardinal Amato, Prefect of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints was in Rimouski (Quebec) on Sunday to preside at a special Mass which was celebrated in the parish church of Saint Robert Bellermine. During this Mass, which began at 2:30pm, His Eminence formally beatified Sister Marie Elizabeth Turgeon, foundress of the Congregation of the Sisters of Our Lady of the Holy Rosary.
Also present for this liturgy were His Eminence, Gerald Cyprien Lacroix, Archbishop of Quebec City and Primate of Canada; His Excellency, Luigi Bonazzi, Apostolic Nuncio to Canada; and His Excellency, Paul-Andre Durocher, Archbishop of Gatineau and President of the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops.
The Congregation of the Sisters of Our Lady of the Holy Rosary was founded on September 12, 1879, to prepare qualified teachers for schools in the parishes of what was then the Diocese of Rimouski, especially those lacking in resources.
