Bishop Jensen’s Episcopal Anniversary
April 2 is the Episcopal Ordination Anniversary of our Bishop, Most Reverend Stephen Jensen. This is a diocesan celebration (please see ORDO Pastoral Note 25a). Because April 2, 2016 falls on the Octave of Easter, the Solemnity of that day will be celebrated. However, the Bishop’s Anniversary should be remembered in the Prayers of the Faithful on the actual day, and on Sunday, April 3, the Second Sunday of Easter. You may use the following prayer:
We celebrate the 3rd anniversary of the ordination and installation of our Bishop Stephen Jensen. May God send the Holy Spirit to guide him and all the people of our diocese in following the Lord. Let us pray to the Lord.

NOTE: The Divine Mercy Sunday Indulgence: On the June 29, 2002, the Apostolic Penitentiary of the Holy See promulgated a decree creating new indulgences that may be gained by the faithful in connection with the celebration of Divine Mercy Sunday. This decree grants a plenary indulgence to those who comply with all the conditions established, and a partial indulgence to those who incompletely fulfill the conditions.
To receive the Jubilee Indulgence offered this year, Pope France invites you to take these steps:
- Make a brief pilgrimage and pass through a Door of Mercy as a sign of your deep desire for true conversion.
- Celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation (up to eight days before or after your pilgrimage).
- Participate in a celebration of the Holy Eucharist.
- Offer a prayer (such as an Our Father) for the Pope and his intentions.
Youth and Young Adults Events
DYC 2016
Registration for the 2016 DYC: The Ascent is now open for all those in Grades 7-12! You can register online at www.dycpgdiocese.eventbrite.ca. The fee is now $60. The Diocesan Youth Conference is a packed weekend adventure filled with dynamic talks, workshops, games, adoration, praise and worship, and a coffeehouse featuring artists from across our diocese as part of an evening celebration. This year, our theme is ‘The Ascent’. The Christian journey often feels like a tough climb, but we hope young people will leave ready to take on every mountain. With the help of Face2Face Ministries, we will unpack that which is most central and basic to the Catholic Christian faith.
