The Society of St. Vincent de Paul, founded in 1833, is an international lay organization, united in the mission to serve persons in need. In Canada alone, the SSVP helps more than 350,000 people each
year. We provide material support in the form of non-perishable food, clothes, household items and furniture to individuals and families. Our parish has an active Vincent de Paul group, who are in need of additional people to assist them in this essential outreach. If you would like additional info about what would be involved, please contact Ernie Dunsford (902) 316-2015, Mike White (902) 314-0334 or Raymundo Yu (902) 916-3972. Thank you for considering participation in the Gospel ministry of respect and care.

If anyone has a pyx (the small gold-finished vessel for taking Holy Communion to the sick or shut-in) that you borrowed from the parish and are no longer using, would you kindly return it to the church or office. We would like to use it for others. Many thanks

Since Mass attendance is no longer divided into groups, it isn’t necessary to have a washroom available on each side of the church. As of now, the two washrooms on the South (Dorchester St.) side of the church will be available during the Masses. We will no longer use the washroom off the K of C Council
chambers on the Sydney St. side.

With the lifting of restrictions, the mandate to maintain 6 feet distance between households or “bubbles” has been removed. The encouragement is offered that we spread out throughout the space. Hand-sanitizer remains available. If unwell, please stay home. Masks are no longer required, but remain recommended by Public Health.

Automatic Debit and E-transfer are options for those who would like to contribute using those
means. Please contact the Parish Office for information

Men and women are needed for this ministry. If you are able to help out, please contact the Parish Office.
