On Tuesday, February 4, in a spirit of joy and fraternity, Fr. Michael Orban, pastor of Our Lady of Hungary, extended a warm invitation to his fellow priests and deacons from cultural communities, treating them to his homemade Hungarian sausages. This simple yet meaningful gathering, which brought together Vicar General Charles Langlois and Director of Personnel François Charette, was not about formal meetings or serious discussions—it was about friendship, sharing, and strengthening the bonds of brotherhood.

Laughter, conversation, and the joy of being together filled the parish hall, reminding everyone that community is built not just through ministry but also through moments of genuine encounter. In the context of the Jubilee Year, this fraternal gathering was a beautiful expression of living out the Gospel—taking care of one another, celebrating joy, and fostering unity among the clergy.

A moment of grace, simple, free, and full of life.
