Mass of Unity


Last Friday, the downtown area was packed with Catholics from all over as the Huron Superior Catholic District School Board celebrated its 10th anniversary with a mass at the Steelback Centre.

I caught a few glimpses of St. Gerard parishioners past, present and maybe future from the SooToday article.

If you were there, please share your thoughts and pictures with the rest of us by adding a comment below.

Marty Frolick and others playing at Mass for Unity

Marty Frolick (left, guitar), teacher at St. Mary’s and plays at the 5:00 pm Saturday mass. Marty and I used to attend St. Gregory of Nyssa in Echo Bay before it closed. The very talented Claryssa Webb on violin, daughter of Peggy and Bill Webb, former long-time members of St. Gerard. The Frolicks are also a talented musical bunch. Marty’s brother Mark is there too (look for his head is resting on Fr. Hamish Currie’s arm).

Fr. Eric Pannike and Fr. Brendan Connelly

My good friend Fr. Eric Pannike (left) and temporary St. Gerard pastor Fr. Brendan Connelly. Is this a photo of present and future? We should know in 2-3 weeks.
