Father François Lapointe omv, rector of the Sainte-Rita Shrine, was on hand today, December 12, to concelebrate with nearly 50 priests at the Thursday mass of the inaugural week of the opening of Notre-Dame Cathedral.
The cathedral was packed to the rafters with faithful from all over the Ile-de-France region and beyond, to continue praising God for the gift of Notre-Dame’s rebirth.
Here are a few photos of this special day, which the rector attended on behalf of all the faithful of Ste-Rita.

The mass was broadcast on KTO TV.
