A Jubilee Year is a special celebration the Church holds at least once every 25 years. It’s a year of pilgrimages, of a focus on the spiritual life, of confession and special Masses, and of a general turn towards God in thanksgiving, and in repentance.
We are grateful for all contributions to all our special collections for 2024. It is only through the generosity of many people that the Archdiocese is able to provide the support and resources needed for the pastoral work of Archbishop Dunn and the parishes of our local Church.
Do you know about Our Daily Bread Outreach? This ministry has been serving people living on the streets in downtown Halifax for over 15 years. Run out of the hall at Saint Mary’s Cathedral Basilica this ministry relies on volunteers from all over the Archdiocese. Daily Bread is currently open from Tuesday through Friday between 1:00 and 2:30pm.
