One way we can increase our holiness is to incorporate the Rosary into our daily prayer life. Each day the Diocese of Burlington offers a recitation of the Rosary featuring a member of our Vermont diocesan community. “The Rosary is the weapon for these times.” May we grow together in holiness and protection from all evil. Special Rosary Relay On the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus
(June 11), the Diocese of Burlington will be participating in a worldwide
Rosary Relay led by Bishop Coyne at the Cathedral of St. Joseph in Burlington. Beginning at midnight on Friday, June 11th, various locations from over
100 different countries will start praying the Rosary at every half hour, passing it along to the next location until finally the entire world will be
encircled in the Rosary just before midnight of the next day.
Please come celebrate our Blessed Mother on a journey of faith and fellowship! On May 21, 2022, we will be making a 2.3 mile walk from St Joseph’s Church, 23 St Joseph Lane, Isle La Motte, to St Anne’s Shrine starting at 9 a.m. (the walk takes a little more than an hour). We will be praying the Holy Rosary and Divine Mercy Chaplet while we walk for the sanctity of life from conception to natural death.
The Diocese of Burlington joyfully celebrates the ordination of two men to Holy Orders as Deacons Brandon Schneider and Gregory Caldwell are ordained to the Priesthood of Jesus Christ by Bishop Christopher Coyne. All are invited to join us in the Cathedral for this solemn liturgy of Ordination. Both men will offer their first blessings in the church following Mass. A reception follows in the parish hall.
Save the date for the Annual Family Mass and Picnic at St. Anne’s Shrine! Bishop Christopher Coyne will celebrate Mass at 12:15 p.m. followed by a cookout. More information coming soon.
