The Mass and Bishop Gruss' Homily, in addition to the subsequent celebration on Sunday, September 14, commemorate the 350th anniversary of Father Henry Nouvel's inaugural mass on Christmas Day in the Midland region in 1675. This occasion reflects his journey, which was sought by the Beaver Nation for a missionary priest. The story outlines the difficulties encountered by Nouvel and his fellow missionaries, emphasizing their dedication to God and the cross as a representation of love and redemption. It fosters a spirit of thankfulness and encourages those present to embrace the Lord Jesus in the Eucharist.
