We Remember

As Remembrance Day approaches, the Anglican Diocese of Fredericton joins Canadians across the country in remembering those who served, those who gave their lives, and all whose lives have been forever changed by war and conflict.

Each November, we pause in gratitude for the sacrifices made by generations before us. We remember the courage of those who answered the call to serve, the families who waited anxiously for their return, and those who continue to carry the physical and emotional wounds of war.

Across our diocese, parish communities mark this solemn occasion through remembrance, reflection and prayer.

At All Saints Anglican Church in Keswick Ridge, parishioners gathered for a Remembrance Day ceremony, honouring the men and women who gave their lives in service. Displays of poppies and crosses offered a visible reminder of their sacrifice and the importance of remembering.

For Christians, Remembrance Day is also a call to look toward the future. While we honour the sacrifices of the past, we are reminded of our responsibility to seek peace, pursue reconciliation and uphold the dignity of every human life.

In a world where conflict continues to bring suffering to so many, our prayers for peace remain as important as ever.

This Remembrance Day, we invite all throughout the diocese to take a moment to pause, remember and pray.

May we honour those who have gone before us not only through our remembrance, but through our commitment to building a more peaceful world.

Lest we forget.
