Appointments for the Archdiocese of Halifax-Yarmouth

September 3, 2026

Most Reverend Brian Joseph Dunn, Archbishop of Halifax-Yarmouth, announces the following appointments:

Each year during the summer the Archdiocesan Cemeteries Office of Halifax offers Masses for the Faithful Departed.  These Masses happen at our three cemeteries: Gate of Heaven, Mount Olivet, and Holy Cross and offer people the opportunity to remember and honour their loved ones who are laid to rest in these grounds. All are welcome.

The last of our annual Masses for the Faithful Departed  will be celebrated at Holy Cross Cemetery onTuesday, September 15 at 5:00pm. This Mass takes place in Our Lady of Sorrows Church (The Chapel Build in a Day) on the cemetery grounds.

This week Archbishop Dunn gathers with his brother bishops from across the Atlantic provinces for their bi-annual plenary meetings, the Atlantic Episcopal Assembly.  Bishops and/or their representatives from the 13 dioceses in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland come together to discuss the pastoral needs of the faithful and discern how best to respond to God’s call for the local Church.

Please pray for these church leaders as they meet.  May the Holy Spirit guide their work.
