Join us for the 2023 Assembly of the People of God!

The Office of Pastoral Life & New Evangelization in the Archdiocese of Halifax-Yarmouth works to create the conditions and provide the opportunities in which the Spirit guides us to a personal encounter with Jesus Christ and transforms us into the community of witnesses to the Good News of God's love and mercy for the world.

In order to create these conditions and opportunities the office focuses on the following areas of pastoral need: Adult Evangelization & Faith Formation, Catechesis, Liturgy, Youth & Young Adult Ministry, and University Chaplaincy.

We look forward to seeing you at the 2023 Assembly of People of God!

 

Our Assembly of the People of God is THIS Saturday, November 4.  If you have not yet registered  - there’s still a few spots left.  Register now!

The registration deadline for the 2023 Assembly of the People of God is THIS Friday, October 27. Are you registered? We hope so! 

Archbishop Dunn wants to see you at our 2023 Assembly of the People of God!  It’s the one time of the year that our whole diocesan family comes together to pray, reflect, and discern the next steps to live our call to proclaim Christ and make disciples in Halifax-Yarmouth.

Our faith is personal, but it is expressed communally and so, let’s assemble!  On Saturday, November 4 we will gather for our 11th annual Assembly of the People of God.  As the Synod on Synodality begins in Rome this month, we follow the Pope’s lead and consider how we walk with one another in our journey of faith; or how we accompany one another as Jesus accompanies us.
