Celebrate Mass Before Work!

As we enter into the season of Lent, a reminder that three parishes on peninsular Halifax will start to offer a daily 7:30am Mass. This is the result of feedback the diocese has received from people who would like to go to Mass prior to the beginning of their work day. Saint Mary’s Cathedral, Good Shepherd Parish, and Saint Francis and Saint Clare of Assisi Parish will host these early morning Mass at 7:30am with the following schedule:

  • Monday – Saint Mary’s Cathedral Basilica, Spring Garden Rd.
  • Tuesday – Saint Thomas Aquinas Church, 1725 Oxford St.
  • Wednesday – Saint Mary’s Cathedral Basilica, Spring Garden Rd.
  • Thursday – Saint Thomas Aquinas Church, 1725 Oxford St.
  • Friday – Saint Catherine’s Church, 6476 Bayers Rd.

All are welcome to join any of these Mass to begin the day.
