Coming in the New Year... Dei Verbum was one of the foundational teachings of Vatican
II because it helped move Scripture into the heart of parish life. In recognition of the 50 th
anniversary of Vatican II, there will be an opportunity to study and discuss this document in
January at four Tuesday morning or four Thursday evening sessions. Registration forms and more
information will be available at the end of November. A regular Little Rock Scripture Study: The
Acts of the Apostles will be offered in Lent. Contact: Jayne Nicki - [email protected]
The St. Dunstan's High School youth group will be meeting Sunday November 30th from 4:30 - 6:00.
Our topic will be Jesus' message of Peace on Earth
Development & Peace "Sow Much Love "
Development & Peace concludes the 2014 education component "Sow Much Love" of the broader
2011- 16 Ecological Justice Program. Please consider signing a petition to the Government of Canada
demanding respect for the right of small-scale family farmers to preserve, exchange and use seeds.
This action is necessary because of the ratification by a number of countries of UPOV 91 (International
Convention for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants), Bill C-18 in Canada. This petition will be
available at each entrance to our Church.
Note from Bishop Harris:
Dear Sisters & Brothers in Christ:
The Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception is rapidly approaching. As a diocese, we celebrate this
year the 172nd anniversary of our founding in 1842. We also remember and celebrate the 160th
anniversary of the founding of our own Sisters of Charity which occurred on October 21st.
You are cordially invited to celebrate our patronal feast day and gather for a concelebrated Eucharist.
Please extend this invitation to the people you know. It would be wonderful to fill our diocesan
Mother Church. Invite the youth to be with us! Monday, December 8, 2014 at 6:30 p.m.
Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, Saint John
A reception will follow in the Cathedral residence. I look forward to welcoming you as we thank God for
so many blessings received and ask our Blessed Mother to inspire our "Yes!" for the future.
Sincerely in Christ,
Robert Harris, Bishop of Saint John

Revisiting the gift of Eucharist
Some of us distribute communion to our brothers
and sisters at Mass, some of us bring communion to
our brothers and sisters in their homes, senior
residences, or hospitals, and some of us partake of
communion whenever we gather for Mass. In all of
these situations, the Eucharist is a regular part of our
responding to God’s call to receive such a gift. And,
like anything else we do with any regularity, perhaps
it is time to be reminded of how significant and
special this gift that God offers is. And perhaps it is
time to be reminded of the responsibility that comes
with this gift. We’d love to invite you to join us as we
spend some time together revisiting the Eucharist, its
early meanings and what it signifies for us today.
Claudette Derdaele, Coordinator of the Lay Pastoral
Ministry Formation program for the Diocese of Saint
John, will guide our conversation on Saturday,
January 24th (snow date January 31) from 9:30 until
noon at St. Dunstan’s church. The Pastoral Visitation
Committee invites you to take part in this prayerful
reflection on the Sacrament of the Eucharist .Please
call (458-5571) or e-mail ([email protected]) Tim
Dilworth to indicate that you will attend this
workshop.

LECTURE by Dr. Michael Higgins this Thursday,
November 27th @ 4:00pm, Holy Cross House, Room 5,
St. Thomas University.
TITLE: A Man Called John and a Man Called Louie:
Pope John XXIII and Thomas Merton.
DESCRIPTION: This relationship recorded in a series
of letters and a papal gift is an extraordinary cameo
moment between two towering spiritual figures. Both
the Pope and the Trappist shared much in common,
particularly around universal peace, the renewal of
religious, and a new pastoral approach to the world.
Their mutual ecumenical spirit and their gift for holy
candour united them in unique and illuminating ways.
Hosted by St. John XXIII Chair in Catholic Studies.

The Spiritual & Religious Care Educational
Foundation is a local multi-faith Foundation. It's
main purpose is to provide bursaries for students
taking the Clinical Pastoral Education Program at the
Chalmer's Hospital. The students visit with patients
so as to provide spiritual & religious care in a time of
need. The students are not paid, but provide a
tremendously valuable visiting ministry for patients
and the Hospital in terms of volunteer hours. The
Foundation meets briefly only twice a year, but is
currently in need of further Board members. You do
not need any particular skills...only an interest.
Might you consider to become a Board member?
Please contact Chris McAloon at 474-2342 or
