A grand send-off for a final goodbye to Fr Vito Marziliano
TORONTO – There was a relatively large crowd of friends, parishioners past and present, and family to bid Fr. Vito an ADDIO on Saturday.

Quando la scrittura è magica: Rossana Copler fra amore, musica e spiritualità
VANCOUVER – Dire che è una scrittrice non basta a descriverla. Ci vuole un aggettivo. E probabilmente il più calzante è “magica”. Perché c’è sicuramente della magìa nell’iniziare a scrivere un libro per consolare un’amica malata e ce n’è ancora di più se quello successivo nasce sulla scia di una serie di sogni fatti dopo la scomparsa proprio di quell’amica.
