Bishop’s Message from Anglican Montreal June 2026

 I was fortunate enough to spend nearly ten years as part of a community that helped me reconnect with my cultural roots—the ones that taught me the importance of family gatherings over a meal. Over the years, these gatherings have provided me with the most meaningful and memorable moments of our shared journey with God. Those very moments were occasions when God’s Word became more tangible. They were truly the embodiment of the deeply rooted connection between the human and the divine. The joy that filled our hearts helped us overcome conflicts and disagreements that any community—whether Christian or not—may experience. 

But beyond this community, sharing a meal remains an important bonding factor within all human societies. Sharing food is a powerful, universal act that turns the simple act of eating into an opportunity for deepening human connections.
