This petition will be available at each entrance to our Church. Note from Bishop Harris: Dear Sisters & Brothers in Christ: The Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception is rapidly approaching.

You are cordially invited to celebrate our patronal feast day and gather for a concelebrated Eucharist. Please extend this invitation to the people you know. It would be wonderful to fill our diocesan Mother Church. Invite the youth to be with us!

Little Blue Books Advent & Christmas Season, Six-Minute reflections on the Advent/Christmas season weekday Gospels. Available in the Parish office $1.00 each Revisiting the gift of Eucharist Some of us distribute communion to our brothers and sisters at Mass, some of us bring communion to our brothers and sisters in their homes, senior residences, or hospitals, and some of us partake of communion whenever we gather for Mass. In all of these situations, the Eucharist is a regular part of our responding to God’s call to receive such a gift. And, like anything else we do with any regularity, perhaps it is time to be reminded of how significant and special this gift that God offers is. And perhaps it is time to be reminded of the responsibility that comes with this gift. We’d love to invite you to join us as we spend some time together revisiting the Eucharist, its early meanings and what it signifies for us today. Claudette Derdaele, Coordinator of the Lay Pastoral Ministry Formation program for the Diocese of Saint John, will guide our conversation on Saturday, January 24th (snow date January 31) from 9:30 until noon at St. Dunstan’s church. The Pastoral Visitation Committee invites you to take part in this prayerful reflection on the Sacrament of the Eucharist .Please call (458-5571) or e-mail ([email protected]) Tim Dilworth to indicate that you will attend this workshop.

Visit the Bel Canto Singers of Fredericton online at http://belcantosingers.blogspot.com LECTURE by Dr. Michael Higgins this Thursday, November 27th @ 4:00pm, Holy Cross House, Room 5, St. Thomas University. TITLE: A Man Called John and a Man Called Louie: Pope John XXIII and Thomas Merton. DESCRIPTION: This relationship recorded in a series of letters and a papal gift is an extraordinary cameo moment between two towering spiritual figures. Both the Pope and the Trappist shared much in common, particularly around universal peace, the renewal of religious, and a new pastoral approach to the world. Their mutual ecumenical spirit and their gift for holy candour united them in unique and illuminating ways. Hosted by St. John XXIII Chair in Catholic Studies.

It's main purpose is to provide bursaries for students taking the Clinical Pastoral Education Program at the Chalmer's Hospital. The students visit with patients so as to provide spiritual & religious care in a time of need. The students are not paid, but provide a tremendously valuable visiting ministry for patients and the Hospital in terms of volunteer hours. The Foundation meets briefly only twice a year, but is currently in need of further Board members. You do not need any particular skills...only an interest. Might you consider to become a Board member? Please contact Chris McAloon at 474-2342 or [email protected]. Thank you.
