Hi all, Today Greg and I spoke at St. Matthieu's parish. It was a bilingual parish, so yesterday the Mass was in french and this morning it was in english. Greg gave a great speach in french yesterday evening... I didn't know he was so fluent! Although there weren't too many people there, we received a lot of generous donations. Today was also very special, as after Mass Greg and I proceeded to the local community building (formerly a school, known as Watergate). There we were served a lunch, and met up with an amazing youth group from St. Matthieu's parish. It was a new youth group, just formed last month, but they were really energised about their faith and it was really inspiring to see. We played some sports, and then went together with the youth group to one hour of Eucharistic adoration (which the youth group organises). Anyway, tonight we are leaving to go walking, Greg Jeremy and I. We are going to walk through Sudbury tonight, and be one step closer to getting to Toronto. We have a bit of extra time, so I think we'll be taking a detour through London, Ontario. It'll be an interesting week, especially as we will be visiting the Canadian martyrs shrine. I'll tell you more about that later. Bye for now, Etienne
