As many of you know, the Diocesan Partnerships Committee worked hard to make arrangements for Fr. Linus (pronounced LEE-nus) to come to Montreal from our partner Diocese of Masasi. After a full year of delays, Fr. Linus finally arrived at the end of August. This was thanks to not only the work of the committee, but to the generosity of many people who donated to last year’s Bishop’s Action Appeal.
Fr Linus will now spend the next two years earning his Bachelor of Theology degree at Montreal Diocesan Theological College, to be better equipped for his work of teaching candidates for ordination.
Fr. Linus has attended some events in the Diocese of Montreal, including Randy Gates’ ordination in Sutton in September. He and the Partnerships Committee are eager to have him visit as many parishes of the Diocese, in as many different regions and contexts, as possible, during his time here.
My own congregation, All Saints by the Lake in Dorval, plans to host Fr. Linus for our patronal festival on All Saints’ Sunday, November 6th.
If you would like Fr. Linus to visit, please contact the Rev’d Michael Robson at 438-969-1312 or [email protected] to arrange a mutually convenient time.
Thank you for helping to welcome our guest from Masasi.
