St. George’s Anglican Church was filled to capacity on Friday, May 19 as it hosted a royal visit by HRH Princess Anne, daughter of the late Queen Elizabeth II. A similarly filled church — Trinity in Sussex — also hosted the Princess Royal on May 21 during her three-day visit to New Brunswick.

The Princess was in the province to celebrate the 175th anniversary of the 8th Canadian Hussars (Princess Louise’s), of which she is colonel-in-chief.

Applications are now open for the second round of our diocesan ReFrame Missional Cohort. The purpose of the cohort is to wrestle with the changing realities of leadership in the Church during our time and as well consider implementing some outreach and missional initiatives within their parish/community.

Praying and Living the Kingdom
Empowered by the Holy Spirit

Thy Kingdom Come is a global prayer movement which the Archbishop of Canterbury invited people around the world to join. The wave of prayer runs for 11 days between the Christian festivals of Ascension and Pentecost. During this time, people are asked to pray in whatever way they want and with whoever they want for others to come to know Jesus Christ.
