Canada Day Flag Raising

During our Rectory Garden work day, brother Rommel noticed that the flag in the rectory was in a sorry faded state. It turns out Fr. Au was thinking the very same thing. When brother Rommel contacted Fr. Au about this, we got the go-ahead immediately to get a new flag and raise it for Canada Day! Just a few hours ago, we did just that. We started with mass at 7.00 pm…a fitting way to celebrate Canada Day, by thanking God for his many blessings and for bringing us to this great country.

After homily, the Knights, brothers Rommel, Rome, Dennis and Edmund, preceded by an Honour Guard comprising brother Zeus as well as brother Mark,  presented the new flag to Fr. Au in a solemn procession, whereupon Fr. Au blessed the flag. After mass, we marched in procession to the Flag pole, lowered the flag and raised the new one to a rousing rendition of O’Canada by all the parishioners and Knights.

There were some pictures taken during the ceremony, but I don’t have them yet. Below is the picture from after the ceremony.
