Claude Grou returned to Montreal’s St. Joseph’s Oratory today to warm applause from about 100 worshippers on hand. MONTREAL—The Montreal priest who was stabbed during morning mass resumed his duties one week after the attack. Grou, 77, told reporters later he’s doing well and thanked those who came to his assistance following the attack. He said he wants the landmark church to remain a peaceful, welcoming place with its sense of safety intact. The attack took place last Friday shortly after the beginning of the 8:30 a.m. mass, when a 26-year-old man attacked the priest as the mass was being streamed live on the internet.
