SQLFusion - Seminarian Paul Andre Durocher active in liturgical activities in Archdiocese of Ottawa

Paul Andre Durocher in Ottawa
  In 1979, while simultaneously a seminarian at Ottawa, Ontario's Roman Catholic Saint Paul University and acquiring a B.Ed. at Ottawa University, Paul Andre Durocher became immersed in liturgical activities in the Archdiocese of Ottawa, Ontario.
The picture and text below are taken from page 3 of the 15 December 1979 edition of Presence, a free monthly publication of the Archdiocese of Ottawa. The impetus for Presence came in 1975 from Joseph Aurele Plourde, Archbishop of Ottawa from 1967 to 1989. (Plourde previously served as Auxiliary to the Bishop of Alexandria-Cornwall, Rosario Brodeur.)

Paul-Andre Durocher, a seminarian at St. Paul University, leads some 90 participants in a singing practice to prepare for the evening prayer which closed the Diocesan Day of reflection, celebration and workshops on the theme of Advent.
