At the 138th Diocesan Synod, the Rev. Thomas Nisbett proposed a motion to form a task force to investigate racial justice in the Diocese, educate, and make recommendations, and report back to the next diocesan synod. 

Now it’s time to begin the work of the Task Force on Racial Justice. With the Rev. Terence Chandra and the Rev. Julian Pillay onboard, Thomas, who will chair the task force, is looking for like-minded individuals to join, hopefully one from each archdeaconry.

reconnect & reframe is a learning and exploring partnership between the dioceses of Fredericton and Nova Scotia & Prince Edward Island. Sessions are Thursday evenings on ZOOM. Each includes a dynamic presentation on a particular theme, several local examples, followed by small group discussion.

Combined 160th Anniversary Celebration of having a Holy Trinity Church in the Hammond River area and 100th Anniversary Celebration of the current Holy Trinity building 

The original Holy Trinity Church built in 1863 in the Hammond River area was destroyed by fire in 1920 and rebuilt in a location closer to the river. The current Holy Trinity Church was then consecrated in January 1923.

To celebrate the 160th and 100th Anniversaries Archbishop David Edwards will be leading a service to commemorate the occasion followed by a reception in the church hall.  All are invited! Bring a friend!
