Year End Celebration for Diploma in New Evangelization and EQUIP Program
This week marks the end of the year for the Diploma in the New Evangelization and the diocesan EQUIP program. Participants in the EQUIP program take part in small groups and retreats in order to be formed in the faith and trained to engage in the mission of the church at the parish level, while also taking courses to provide a solid theological foundation and education. EQUIP participants from across the diocese came together and celebrated their year-end retreat this past weekend as they reflected on the themes of Pilgrims of Hope, based on the theme of our current Jubilee Year.
Special congratulations to all the EQUIP participants who have completed their third year of the program, and who are now preparing to receive their Diploma in the New Evangelization at this weekends convocation ceremony at Atlantic School of Theology (AST). Please pray for these graduates, and all graduates of AST, as they celebrate this accomplishment, that they will find many ways to put their gifts at the service of spreading the Gospel within our parishes and the Archdiocese of Halifax-Yarmouth.
