The busy schedule included celebrations at the two missions of Wasagamach and Garden Hill. Here + Sylvain installs the two new priests as pastor and co-pastor of St. Bernadette parish in St. Theresa Point.
The ceremony at St. theresa Point also included the handing out of mandates to many involved in ministry, a strong feature of this community of faith.

Saturday night before the Sunday celebration there was an evening of square dance competitions. Archbishop Sylvain even got to sing a few songs and hymns. A square dance, of course, would not be a square dance without fiddle music.
