Our Mission
To give joyful witness to love: the love of God, of one another, and of all persons.
Celebrating 175 years of joyful witness to love
In August 2024 our Congregation will celebrate the 175th anniversary of their landing in Halifax, Nova Scotia and starting their mission to give joyful witness to love!
To honour this milestone, we started Throwback Thursday on our Congregational Facebook page. Every week we will count down to the anniversary by posting photos from our archives.
We will be sharing 175 stories of our Sisters throughout this celebration year.
Together we will build a living history as we give thanks to God for the work of our sisters.

Who are we to praise thee —
But we call on all thy creation to praise thee —
the birds of the air, the inhabitants of the earth, and the depths of the sea, the mountains
and the valleys, and whatever thou hast made to praise, to bless, to declare thy glory.
Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton
