In a recent parish survey, parishioners described our parish as a warm and inviting family who value inclusion, fellowship, and supporting each other, and those in need. Our Parochial Committee has prepared this Parish Profile to provide a snapshot of our faithful parish and vibrant community. With our rectory located steps away from the church and only a short drive away from the ocean, beautiful trails, downtown Halifax, and more, we're looking forward to our next Rector seeing why we love it here.
No matter where your next steps of discernment lead you, we sincerely thank you for journeying this far with us.
