About Archdiocese of Halifax-Yarmouth

The Archdiocese of Halifax-Yarmouth envisions a world where every individual encounters the profound love and mercy of the Father through Jesus Christ. We believe in the transformative power of faith and strive to create a welcoming community where believers can grow together in their spiritual journey.

Our mission is to propose Jesus Christ by fostering a communion of vibrant parish communities that empower the faithful to carry out His mission in the world. Guided by our core values of Mission, Community, and Formation, we are dedicated to:

Mission: Proposing Jesus Christ to others through acts of service, heartfelt invitations, opportunities for spiritual encounters, and a deep openness to the guidance of the Holy Spirit

Community: Strengthening our community through the Word of God, sacramental life, worship, prayer, and fostering strong, supportive relationships. We are committed to creating effective systems of accompaniment to ensure no one walks their faith journey alone.

Formation: Equipping the people of God with the knowledge, skills, and training necessary to fulfill the Church's mission. We aim to help individuals mature in their faith and grow to the full stature of Christ.
