Liturgy

As we prepare for Holy Week across the Archdiocese we offer the Holy Week and Easter schedule of liturgies for Saint Mary’s Cathedral in Halifax as well as Saint Ambrose Co-Cathedral in Yarmouth.

Vous êtes invités à célébrer le Triduum en français avec le Père Alain Dosseh et la communauté francophone de la Paroisse Christ-Roi à Dartmouth! 

During the Jubilee Year Pope Francis will canonize a number of saint. Of particular interest to many in our Archdiocese is the canonization of Blessed Carlo Acutis on April 27, appropriately during the Jubilee of Teenagers. A relic of blessed Carlo made its first visit to Canada during our Eucharistic Congress in October 2024.  At that time Archbishop Dunn and the Archdiocese was gifted our very own relic of Blessed Carlo.

Stella Maris Parish will host a Memorial Mass for Sr. Joanna Madu, EHJ tonight,  Tuesday, April 8 at 7:00pm. The Mass will take place at St. Michael’s Church, 14 St. Michael’s Ave in Halifax.  Archbishop Dunn presiding.  A collection will be taken at the Mass to help her religious community with the medical and funeral costs. 

The faithful are cordially invited to join Archbishop Dunn for the annual Chrism Mass at 12 noon on Tuesday, April 15 at Saint Mary’s Cathedral Basilica.  A reception will follow.

The arrangements are as follows:

St. Ambrose Co-Cathedral
Thursday, April 3, 2025: Vigil is 6:00pm – 8:00pm with prayers at 7:00pm
Friday, April 4, 2025: Visitation from 12 noon – 1:00pm with Funeral Mass at 1:00pm
Burial to follow at Our Lady of Calvary Cemetery

May eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.  Amen.
