Recent Activity

The Ministry of Care and Compassion successfully launched in the parishes in Clare.

15 women answered their baptismal call to serve on the Ministry for the five parishes, Sacré-Coeur Saulnierville, Stella Maris, Meteghan/Saint-Alphonse, St. Bernard, Notre-Dame du Mont Carmel Concession, and Sainte Marie Church Point.

Saturday April 1, 2017 the Ministers met with Sr. Nuala Kenny for about 2 hours, giving them the opportunity to share their God-given strengths to serve in this Ministry. This was followed by supper, a feast provided so that the Ministers could express gratitude to the Archbishop for putting into action the call to have people visit the lonely, the sick and the dying in the Archdiocese Halifax/Yarmouth.

Saturday evening Sr. Nuala presented a lecture titled “Care and Companionship for the sick and the suffering in a post-Christian world” giving exposure and meaning to the Ministry which was about to be launched in the region. Following the session the ministers served a snack to the participants in order to greet and meet the public in their new role of service.

Sunday morning Mass was celebrated by Archbishop Anthony Mancini and along with Sr Nuala Kenny the ministry was officially launched in the Clare parishes.

The Ministers received a special blessing from Archbishop Mancini acknowledging the gifts they received from God to serve and the the blessings of love, joy, peace and faithfulness they experience and share.

The gathering ended, but the fellowship and ministry of believers continues.
