Alleluia
Dear Families of the Domestic Church,
On the occasion of the Resurrection of the Lord, I would like to extend to you my heartfelt wishes—that the Risen Christ may be truly present in your homes, in your marriages, and in your families.
May His victory over sin and death strengthen your faith in difficult moments, bring peace where there is anxiety, and rekindle hope wherever it may be fading. May the light of the Easter morning illuminate your daily lives, helping you to recognize God’s presence in the simple, ordinary moments of family life.
I wish that your homes may truly become “Domestic Churches”—places of prayer, forgiveness, mutual care, and love that draws its strength from the Eucharist. May Christ, who lives, guide you in unity and strengthen you in your vocation to holiness in marriage and family life.
May the joy of the Resurrection fill your hearts and accompany you each day.
With prayer and pastoral blessing,
Fr. Mateusz Sobierajski, CSMA

Sponsoring the Relics of Saint Ulma Family
Domestic Church was asked to fund the Reliquary, which will be displayed at the altar of Holy Family in St. Eugene de Mazenod Church in Brampton. The alter of the Holy Family was sponsored by DC shortly after the Church was consecrated.
There is a Devotion to Holy Family on each first Tuesday of the month at St Eugene Church. Everyone is invited and encouraged to take part in those devotions or send their intentions to be added to prayers each month.
It was proposed to fund a reliquary as a gift from DC for the 35th anniversary of our movement in Canada.
The mass will take place on March 9th, 2025 at St. Eugene de Mazenod church in Brampton at 12:30. The mass will be in Polish.
