TORONTO, April 30, 2014 (LifeSiteNews.com) –– Msgr. Vincent Foy, known throughout Canada as a leading defender of life and of the family, will be celebrating 75 years of priesthood this Pentecost, and the event will be marked by a solemn high mass attended by Cardinal Thomas Collins, among others.

Msgr. Foy will reach the significant milestone on June 3rd. On June 7th, 2014, the Vigil of Pentecost, the mass will be celebrated at St. Lawrence the Martyr Church in Scarborough, Ontario at 10:00 am. The cardinal archbishop will preach at the mass, which will be broadcast by the American Catholic television network EWTN.

The monsignor, currently the oldest priest in the Archdiocese of Toronto, at the age of 98, and reportedly the only priest in the history of the Archdiocese to reach the 75-year mark of priesthood, spent most of his priestly life in service of the Sacrament of Marriage through his work in canon law, both in Toronto and Rome.  (more...)
