Introduction – Prayers Of The Faithful

The Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer, better known as the Redemptorists, were based at St. Peter’s and were well known throughout Atlantic Canada. It was the rare parish that did not experience one (or more) parish missions animated by these gifted Priests. One very well known member of the Mission Band was the late Fr. Art Connell. He was extremely kind and approachable. He was nicknamed by his confreres as “the Chaplain to all Parish Suppers in New Brunswick at Harvest Time”!

When he preached a parish mission he always included a sermon for married couples entitled “Ten Rules for Fighting”. Now, to be sure, Fr. Art would never encourage discord. But he was wise enough to know that, even in the most intimate and loving and important relationships, differences arise. And even if we are not always able to discuss these differences with charity and without accusations, we are always able to forgive. And it is forgiveness that strengthens relationships that are sometimes threatened by tensions and misunderstandings. The importance of forgiving is magnified throughout today’s Liturgy. And, as Jesus taught us to pray, “Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us”!

Religious Education

Out of an abundance of caution, we have decided to wait until November to restart Religious Education classes. We hope that this will reduce the stress on parents already dealing with the reopening of schools. The delayed start should also give us additional time to prepare for the necessary changes required to keep everyone safe.

As soon as plans are finalized, we will share them with parents. Registration for classes will be completed online this year, and we expect to have the form available on our website within the next week.

We require a baptism certificate for every child registered in our program. We encourage parents to contact the church that your children were baptized in to request a copy of that certificate.
