Lenten experience, Archbishop Gregory Aymond joined the Jesuit Fathers
Wednesday morning to celebrate Mass for the Jesuit community
in the Chapel of the North American Marytrs. In his homily,
Archbishop Aymond encouraged Blue Jays to use Lent
to focus on a specific weakeness rather than a vast
array of challenges in their goal to deepen their
relationship with God and with others.
