Hello, Co-Missionaries of La Salette,
For this year's Fall edition of our online newsletter, we reflect on:
La Salette:
Our Faith and Life:
- Fr. Jean Stern, M.S. speaks about the important place of Mary in Ecumenical Dialogue and what we as La Salettes can bring to the discussion (Ecumenism and La Salette)
- Our beloved Pope Francis recently met with Journalists, telling them that truth, professionalism and respect for human dignity were essential elements in their work (Pope Francis to Journalists)
- The incomparable St. Ignatius is the subject of the new movie about his life and ministry (Movie on St. Ignatius)
- It may be hard to belief that some in our society at times seem to have a great amount of patience (Patience is a Virtue)
Social Justice:
Please invite others
to sign up for our free newsletter. May God help you to continue to make Mary's message known whenever the opportunity arises!
Fr. Ron Gagne, M.S.
P.S. We welcome your comments and suggestions. Please contact me at: rongagne@aol.com

Our First Days in Tanzania
by Fr. Aldrin H. Cenizal, M.S.
Habari! Greetings from Tanzania!
We would like to give you some news from here in Tanzania since you left on July 24, 2016. In our first month here, some of the diocesan clergy who were not able to attend the inauguration on the July 17th were coming to visit us and to personally welcome us into the Bukoba Diocese. We experienced the warm welcome from every priest that we met here as well as from the religious (women) in the diocese.
Our parish is composed of 43 Small Christian Communities from the 15 villages entrusted to our care. For now, we already visited some of the villages and celebrated Mass there but we are not yet visited half of them. We have 3 sub-stations, including the Parish Center.

Fr. Normand Farland, M.S. - A Friend to Migrants
by Kevin Bouffard
Lakeland, FL -
Members of Our Lady of Guadalupe Mission in Wahneta, Florida, will remember their late pastor, the Rev. Norman A. Farland, M.S., as someone who met both their spiritual and physical needs.
"As a Catholic my whole life, that's what it means to help the poor. He's a clear example of that," said Brenda Ramirez, 35, a Winter Haven lawyer and member of the Hispanic faith community since it was founded in the early 1980s. "He was extremely simple and so full of faith. He was comfortable with anybody and everybody. He was a member of our family."
