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.
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.
Join Archbishop Dunn and members of your faith family from all across the diocese to delve deeper into what accompaniment means, how to do it, and possibly how you are already accompanying others!
And remember, this is our first ever hybrid Assembly which means you can join us live on-site at McNally Theatre at Saint Mary’s University or you can take part in the Assembly at one of our hosting sites in Kentville, Truro, or Yarmouth.
