On September 28th through 30th, 2018, we will be celebrating the 250th anniversary of continuous Anglican ministry in the Counties of Westmorland, New Brunswick, and Cumberland, Nova Scotia.

In 1768, Rev. John Eagleson was appointed to this ministry by the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel. His work over 32 years, led to the establishment of three parishes in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia – the Parishes of Westmoreland, of Amherst and of Sackville. Over the following 250 years, clergy and lay people have continued to sustain and build ministry in this area. We are their heirs and we will be remembering and dedicating ourselves to continue their work.

The Anniversary weekend will begin with a special worship service on September 28th at 7:00 pm at St. Mark’s Anglican Church at Mount Whatley, continue through Saturday September 29th with a time of remembering with historical displays, a picnic and a “Time of Sharing our History.” Each parish will be taking part in a special way. It will close on Sunday night with a special closing worship and dedication. Please come and join us for this significant time of celebrating and remembering.
