* The archdiocese invites men over the age of 35 to accept the call to the ordained diaconal ministry of word, sacrament and
service with an emphasis on social outreach and social justice. The title “deacon” comes from the Greek word “diakonos,” which means “servant.” The vocation of deacon carries the profound re-sponsibility to pour out one’s life in service to oth-ers, just as Christ who came “not to be served, but to serve.” Contact: [email protected].
* A wreath was placed at the base of the memorial stone in the park to honour those who perished in the Halifax Explosion December 6, 1917.
* Thank you to the St. Mother Teresa of Kolkata Catholic Women’s League who generously donated $1000.00 towards our exterior building fund.
