Bishop Riesbeck is encouraging parishioners to sign a petition sponsored by Development & Peace that asks the government to enact a law that requires Canadian companies to respect the human/environmental rights of local populations in their international operations.

You can learn more about Development & Peace’s annual People and Planet First campaign HERE.

A direct link to the petition can be found HERE.

In celebration of the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception, there will be a Mass at the Cathedral on Wednesday, December 8, at 7 pm. This Mass will be livestreamed on the Diocesan Facebook page.

2021-2022 Sunday Missals are now available for purchase through the parish office. The cost remains at $5 per copy. To reserve your copy, please email the parish office (holyredeemersj@gmail.com) to arrange a time for pick up. If you know someone without internet access who uses an annual missal, please encourage them to call the parish office (653-6830). Once our initial order is gone, we will not be bringing in additional copies.

If you choose to pay for your missal via e-Transfer (use stpiusx@nb.aibn.com as the email) we can arrange to have your missal available for pick up in the church before weekend Masses. Note: We would have to receive your order and e-Transfer by Thursday (November 18) in order to have them ready for you this weekend.

Bishop Riesbeck has written a letter regarding the annual Pro-Life collection.
