From the Office of the Bishop
  • Letter from Most Rev. Brian Dunn, Bishop of Antigonish, concerning Pastoral Planning in the Diocese.
  • "Dear Parishioners of the Diocese of Antigonish,
    I wish to address the entire diocese on an important issue that touches all of us in some way. Since I have come to the diocese, one of my concerns is to ensure that parishioners get the pastoral care that they need for their spiritual lives. To this end, I have established a Pastoral Planning Committee to consider the most effective ways of serving the people of the Diocese through the preaching of the Word of God and the provision of the sacramental life."

    Blessed Teresa of Calcutta said: "The greatest poverty of mankind is that of not knowing Christ...... "People are hungry for God. People need love. Are we aware of this? Do we know this? Do we see it? Do we have eyes to see it? Often our gaze wanders without settling upon anyone ... As if we are here for nothing more than to pass through this world. We should open our eyes, open our eyes and see."
