Weekly contribution envelopes are at the back of the church. To make regular dona-tions to support our Parish please contact

the office to register: 902-54-5835 ext. 201 or you can sign up for PRE-AUTHORIZED DEBIT (PAD)—We encourage this method of contribu-tion. The Archdiocese automatically debits a pre-authorized amount monthly. This allows you to maintain your donations even when you are away from the parish and ensures that the parish is financially able to maintain itself. We thank you for your continued support for this Parish Com-munity. Forms can be found in the entrance of the church or contact the office for more information.

* 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.
