The Archdiocese of Halifax-Yarmouth is excited to announce the availability of scholarships for students actively engaged in their parish community. These scholarships aim to support students who demonstrate a strong commitment to Church renewal, leadership, and academic excellence. These scholarships are made possible by the Patrick Power Foundation, the Archbishop James Hayes Trust, the John T. Joy Trust, the A.M. Hynes Fund, and the Father Caissie Fund.

Last January the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops (CCCB) wrote a pastoral letter on the use of social media entitled: “Let Your Speech Always be Gracious” (pdf). On the one-year anniversary of the publication of the Pastoral Letter on the use of social media, the CCCB has launched a new video series and other resources to help unpack the rich pastoral and moral insights of the Pastoral Letter more fully. A series of five videos on different aspects of the letter have been posted in English and French on the CCCB’s YouTube channel at this link and a downloadable PDF of the letter and social media resources are at this link or visit the CCCB website: www.cccb.ca
