Julie Lafontaine was a parishioner of mine back when I was in Saint Luke parish in Dollard-des-Ormeaux. She has a gorgeous singing voice and is quite a talented artist in that regard. Back when my appointment as bishop was first announced she wrote me the following:
I just thought I should let you know that I felt compelled to write a song in honour of your recent election as Auxiliary Bishop. I would love to share it with you some time soon.
Well, “soon” turned out to be today! With her permission, feel free to have a listen for yourselves:
I am so very touched by this generous gesture, which I can tell came from the heart. Thank you, Julie, I am proud to share this song with my blog readers.
