Today at the Copernicus Lodge in Toronto, Provincial Jacek Nosowicz OMI and Fathers Sławomir and Marcin celebrated Mass on the anniversary of the death of Father Michael Smith OMI. Father Smith is the initiator and founder of the Assumption Province in Canada and the builder of the Copernicus Lodge and the Queen of Apostles Retreat House in Mississauga. On this occasion, Fr. Jacek also celebrated his round 60th birthday so we wish him many graces of God and the protection of our Immaculate Patroness for the years to come!
