From the Vicar General:
Thoughts on the Situation in the Diocese of Helsinki

Pope Francis has frequently likened the Church to a hospital.

Even though it seems contradictory, the reality is that there are more healthy people than patients in a hospital: doctors, nurses, janitorial staff, administrators etc. Thanks be to God, the health of our Diocese is very good. All of us Catholics in Finland – lay people, religious and priests – want to be faithful to Jesus Christ and spread the Gospel.

April Youth Weekend at Stella Maris

18/4/2017

0 Comments

The theme of the One Body in Christ Youth Weekend in April, to be held on April 28-30 at Stella Maris, is the Common Priesthood and Ordained Priesthood.

'At the gathering, participants reflect on the priesthood that all Christian faithful share, in equal dignity, in the priestly, prophetical, and kingly office of Christ and about the priesthood as successor of the Apostles, to whom Christ has entrusted the office of teaching, sanctifying and governing in His name and by His power, for in the Church there is diversity of ministry but unity of mission. We look forward to interesting testimonies from both ordained priests and laymen,' Andreas 'Andi' Bucksrucker at Stella Maris explains.

Please register here by April 25th
