Evening Prayer
The Sisters of Charity invite you to attend Evening Prayer at Holy Trinity on Thursday, May 3rd, 7pm. All are welcomed to this monthly event. Evening Prayer is a peaceful 30-40 minutes experienced in Word, Music and Silence at the end of the day.
Mother’s Day
The tribute page in our bulletin has always been a popular way that Parishioners choose to remember and honor their Mothers. Simply print her name on an envelope and “In Memory of” if she is deceased or “In Honor of” if she is still living. Please also write “Mother’s Day” somewhere on the envelope. You may also choose to place a donation for the Building Fund in the same envelope but this is not required. Please place it in the collection no later than Sunday, May 6th.
Annual March For Life
This year’s “March for Life” at the New Brunswick Legislature will take place on Thursday, May 17th. This year the theme is “Pro-Women, Pro-Child, Pro-Life”. Heading the line-up are women speakers who are staunchly pro-life and proud of it: singer-songwriter Kathleen Dunn, who has her own pro-life group “Voice” and will perform a number of songs, and Elisha Lakin will share her moving testimony on how she is alive today only because her birth mother chose adoption.
Schedule of Events
10:00am — Mass at Dunstan’s Church with our Bishop Robert Harris
11:00am — Gathering music at the New Brunswick Legislature
11:30am — Formal program begins
1:00pm — Walk to Mother and Child House for closing Prayer Vigil followed by a reception at St. Dunstan’s Parish Hall
All Catholics are encouraged to make plans to attend this annual event. This is our one opportunity to stand up and witness to our faith as Christians by letting the government and MLA’s know we are looking to them to support the most basic human right: “Life”. You may wish to bring a lawn chair for the program at the Legislature. Buses are available for those who need transportation.
