In 2021 Pope Francis invited the church to intentionally live synodal journey, that is, “walking together” with one another on the journey of faith. Our Assembly coincides with the first gathering (October 2023)in Rome of this multi-year synodal process. Each of us is called to a personal relationship with Jesus. We are also called to build that relationship by accompanying one another to know, love, and be transformed by God, through Jesus and the Holy Spirit.
On November 4 we invite you to join people from across the Archdiocese of Halifax-Yarmouth to talk about accompaniment. What does the church mean by accompaniment? In short it’s coming along side one another and walking together on our faith journey. Like the disciples on the road to Emmaus, companioned one another in their grief but also their delight when they recognized that Jesus walked with them. Our guest speaker is André Regnier. Along with his wife Angèle, André founded Catholic Christian Outreach (CCO) in Saskatoon in 1988. For over three decades CCO has been affecting change in the lives of the students to whom it ministers, calling them to deeper conversion and a Christ-centered life. For over 30 years he has accompanied many university students and CCO staff as they seek to be missionary disciples.
Registration for the 2023 Assembly of the People of God is open! Each year Archbishop Dunn invites all the faithful across the Archdiocese to join him for a day full of great talks, sharing of experiences, and of course prayer. Something new this year – attend the Assembly at a location of your choosing! We will have a main site, McNally Theatre at Saint Mary’s University, where everything will happen live. Everything happening in McNally will be livestreamed to three hosting sites:
Our annual Assembly of the People of God will be on Saturday, November 4. We are excited for the opportunity to gather together as a diocesan family! All the faithful are invited to come together for a day of prayer, listening, learning…and hopefully a little fun.
