Reverend Arogya Suneel Kumar Sudha was ordained a priest by His Excellency Bishop Jean-Michel Faure in India on August 30, 2015.  Deo gratias!  Fr. Sudha spent the last two years completing his formation at the Our Lady of Mount Carmel Seminary in Boston, Kentucky.  Below are pictures of the ceremony taken by a gentleman who assists at Masses hosted by the Our Lady of Good Success Mission.  The gentleman said that “the ordination was very inspirational” and that “the holy ordination was a huge success”.  It is good to see the true Catholic Resistance growing.

Additional photos of the ordination ceremony may be found here.

Parishioners of Our Lady of Good Success Mission in Toronto went on pilgrimage on Sunday June 7 to the Shrine of the Sorrowful Mother in St Agatha, Ontario.
 
We said the Stations of the Cross outside the chapel, then went inside to recite the Rosary and various other prayers, followed by the Te Deum.
 
Later, many of us went to a local diner for an excellent meal and good company.

Note also the final picture – it sets a new standard for tombstones!

Br. Maximillian and Sr. Mary Elizabeth of the Fraternity of St. Mary of the Angels made a pilgrimage a couple of weeks ago to Quito, Ecuador to visit the Royal Convent of the Immaculate Conception in which the miraculous statue of Our Lady of Good Success is publicly displayed on Feast of the Purification (among other times).  They were so gracious to supply us with several pictures taken during their visit. Thank you!

On Sunday June 22, 2014 Fr. David Hewko baptized the infant daughter, Aniela Maria, of Michal and Marzena Leonczuk.  The godfather was Jakub Leonczuk and the godmother was Julia Leonczuk.  This is the second instant saint made through the Sacrament of Baptism at the Our Lady of Good Success Mission.  Deo gratias! Below are several pictures of the ceremony.

Monday December 9th on the feast of St. Juan Diego, Fr. David Hewko baptized the infant son of James & Christine Saul.  The Godfather was Tony La Rosa and the server was Joseph La Rosa.  With this baptism, the Toronto Resistance has gained another soul.

Deo Gratias!

James and Christine Saul are proud to announce the birth of their son William Joseph Ambrose Saul. He was born in Orangeville at 4:25 pm on December 7, 2013. He weighs 8 pounds, 4 ounces. Mother and son are well.

Deo Gratias!
