| Eucharistic Congress 2024 |
|---|
 A Eucharistic Congress is an especially powerful manifestation of the unity of the Church, where a large number of Catholics gather to worship Our Lord in the Eucharist through the communal celebration of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. These gatherings reaffirm and re-emphasize the source and summit of our faith, putting Jesus where he belongs—at the center.This past weekend about 50,000 Catholics gathered in Indianapolis, Indiana for the United States National Eucharistic Congress. From October 17-20, 2024 we will be hosting a Eucharistic Congress right here in Halifax at St. Agnes Church and St. Mary’s Cathedral. The focus of this gathering will be on creating an opportunity for the spiritual renewal of the people and parishes of the Archdiocese of Halifax-Yarmouth…and beyond. |

| World Day of Grandparents and the Elderly 2024 |
|---|
 The fourth World Day for Grandparents and the Elderly will be celebrated this year on Sunday, 28 July 2024. Pope Francis inaugurated this World Day to be celebrated by the universal Church each July, either on or near the liturgical Memorial of Saints Joachim and Anne, grandparents of Jesus, to help “treasure the spiritual and human wealth that has been handed down from generation to generation.” In his Message for the fourth World Day for Grandparents and the Elderly, Pope Francis shares this year’s theme for the Day: “Do not cast me off in my old age” (Psalm 71:9). He invites the Catholic faithful to reflect on the loneliness of the elderly, encouraging us to “take a new path” and to spend time with them, “acknowledging their unique role in the family, in society and in the Church…” Let us welcome this opportunity to ‘build something different’, reaching out to each other, both young and old, to strengthen our bonds of love and fraternity, so that no one may ever feel ‘cast off’, lonely, or discarded. |
