As the uncontrolled forest fire in Upper Tantallon and surrounding areas we keep burning, Archbishop Dunn invites all the faithful to join him prayer for all who have been impacted. We are particularly mindful of the fire fighters and first responders. As news of the devastating effects of the fire are surfacing we pray in a particular way for those who have lost their homes.
On January 12, 2023, Archbishop Brian J. Dunn was one of fourteen individuals who were presented with the Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee Medal in recognition of significant service to the province of Nova Scotia by the Honourable Arthur J. LeBlanc, the Lieutenant Governor of Nova Scotia.
In response to questions regarding Pastoral care in the case of Euthanasia or Assisted Suicide, below is a statement from Archbishop Dunn
Yesterday we welcomed to Halifax Archbishop Ivan Jurkovič, the Apostolic Nuncio to Canada. This afternoon he will bestow on Archbishop Dunn a pallium from Pope Francis. The pallium is a scarf, or stole-like vestment that is worn over the chasuble when the archbishop celebrates Mass. This is a symbol of an archbishop’s unity with the Pope and his authority, and his responsibility to care for the flock the Pope entrusted to him.
