Sea Sunday, being observed this year on July 12, a day to pray for and recognize seafarers, whose work often goes unseen but keeps much of our world moving.
Within our own diocese, we are blessed to have Saint John Seafarers Mission, serving those arriving through the Port of Saint John. A number of our parishes already support this important work through prayer, volunteering, support, and advocacy.
Sea Sunday may be a meaningful opportunity to highlight this ministry in your parish through the Intercessions and announcements.

Tony is happy to connect with parishes, answer questions, or provide an update on the ministry. For parishes in the southern part of the province, he may also be available to visit and speak with your congregation or parish group.
