For the third time, a Canadian has been elevated to sainthood with the Oct. 20 canonization of St. Marie-Léonie Paradis.

Canadian Catholics turned up in force to celebrate the canonization of Quebec-born St. Marie-Léonie Paradis in St. Peter’s Square, with bishops and priests, members of the congregation Paradis founded and devoted laity made the trip to Rome for the special occasion.

An alleged murder that is part of a class action suit against the Archdiocese of Edmonton was actually death from meningitis, a government record obtained by The Catholic Register affirms.

The claim came in an appeal filed March 15 seeking to overturn an earlier ruling by Quebec Superior Court Justice Catherine Piché, which compelled the St. Raphael Palliative Care Home and Day Centre to offer assisted death.

Rome’s announcement of a third Canadian-born saint answers the prayers of Blessed Mother Marie-Léonie Paradis’ community and friends.

A group that Toronto Archbishop Francis Leo calls “a true gift to the entire Family of God” will gather coast-to-coast in Canada Feb. 2-4 to mark the World Day for Consecrated Life.

Groups battling the federal government’s expansion of MAiD to the mentally ill say the delay announced Jan. 29 is no cause to claim victory.
