PASTORAL LETTERS

*Guidelines for participating in praying the Rosary and for submissions to the online
IN MEMORIAM listing:

Recitation of the Rosary will continue to be broadcast every day in June, at 7 p.m., either live from
Mary Queen of the World Cathedral, or as a pre-recorded segment from individual homes. Viewers
may follow via the diocesan YouTube channel or via the Facebook pages of either the diocese or the
cathedral.

Archbishop Lépine will lead the Rosary from the cathedral, on alternating days until June 30, with
families or individuals who will lead the prayer from their homes.

We are currently looking for faithful interested in virtually leading one session of praying the
Rosary during the month of June, at 7 p.m. (to be broadcast on the diocesan YouTube channel and
Facebook page).

To help support this initiative:

1. IN MEMORIAM listing: Send us the name and date of death of the deceased online at:
https://www.diocesemontreal.org/en/lets-connect/prayer-requests. We ask you to enter your
e-mail address in the assigned field. As we receive the names of those who have died during the
pandemic (as of March 2020), a list will be published and continually updated on our dedicated
diocesan COVID page.

2. CATHEDRAL-HOME ROSARY: Record a home video featuring you and/or family members
praying the five Mysteries of your choice, in any language of your choice: JOYFUL (Monday
and Saturday), LUMINOUS (Thursday), SORROWFUL (Tuesday and Friday), GLORIOUS
(Wednesday and Sunday) (cf. Family Prayer booklet).

To do this, record yourself with your cell phone or other device (N.B. use the landscape setting,
in HD), stand in front of the camera and state the language in which you will pray, then state each
mystery as you proceed to pray the Rosary. Send your video to: rmaltais@diocesemontreal.org (via
any of the following file-hosting services: Dropbox, WeTransfer or Google Drive). It is important to
mention in your email that you have granted the diocese authorization to broadcast your video on
the digital platforms mentioned earlier.

Archbishop Lépine wishes to thank the many families who responded to his invitation in May, those
who prayed with him and those who submitted their videos. To view archived videos, please visit
our YouTube channel here.
