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.
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.
Learn from his experience and share your own experiences with accompaniment!
When: November 4, 2023
Time: 8:30am to 4:00pm – The Assembly will conclude with Mass.
Where: McNally Theatre, Saint Mary’s University or one of the hosting sites.
Cost: $25 (includes lunch)
