Congratulations to our newly Confirmed during Confirmation Mass on Pentecost Sunday! We would like to extend our gratitude to members of the Knights of Columbus of PEI, Our Lady of Fatima Council #824 as well as members of the St. Dunstan’s Basilica Catholic Women’s League for the beautiful cards, prayers books, and holy cards given to these young adults. We would also like to thank parents, sponsors, and catechist, Sandra Bourque and assistant, Isaac, for their support and guidance throughout the year. May God bless and guide our newly Confirmed, and may we be there as a faith community to support them through prayer and encouragement!

National Evangelical Teams (NET) is a Catholic youth-based organization, conducting youth ministry through retreats and other forms of outreach in a number of countries. One of our parishioners, Eli
Grant, has been accepted by NET Ireland. Eli has been our dedicated head altar server for a number of years, and has been raising money to support his venture. If you would like to help, you can also make out a cheque to Eli Grant and drop it off at the Parish Office, put it in the collection basket, or give it to Eli directly. Please note, since NET is a separate organization, the parish will not be able to issue receipts for these donations
