Blessings for the New Year

As we step into the New Year, we want to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude for your continued support and presence at Galilee Centre. Whether you joined us for a weekend program, a weeklong retreat, a special event or simply found inspiration through our community, you are an integral part of our shared journey.

This past year has been filled with growth, deepening connections, and meaningful moments of transformation. As we look back with thanks, we also look forward to all the exciting possibilities the new year holds.  May this year be filled with peace, love, and transformative experiences for you and your loved ones.

Prayer of Blessing on 2025

Remember us, O God;
from age to age be our comforter.
You have given us the wonder of time,
blessings in days and nights, seasons and years.
Bless your children at the turning of the year
and fill the months ahead with the bright hope
that is ours in the coming of Christ.
You are our God, living and reigning, forever and ever.

Amen

(United States Conference of Catholic Bishops)

Ray Lafontaine, Episcopal Vicar of the Archdiocese of Montreal, Sr. Elizabeth Davis, rsm, Sisters of Mercy, Newfoundland. and Bob Czerny, member of St. Basil’s Catholic Parish, Ottawa, ON.
