Our 2021 Flower Services Will Be Live-Streamed
Our Flower Service at Dunns Hill Road, which was held on Sunday, July 25th, was extremely well attended. It was live-streamed to Facebook, and can be viewed here.
Our Church Road Flower Service will be on Sunday, August 01st, starting at 2:00pm, and it too will be live streamed to FaceBook. While pre-registering is not mandatory, keeping a contact tracing list of names and telephone numbers is. To help us ensure a swift and easy flow of traffic at the cemetery gates, we encourage you to pre-register online at our website by clicking here, or by calling our Parish Office at 834-4501.
Following with tradition, if the weather on Sunday afternoon is inclement, the service will be moved to the first available evening that has suitable weather, and will start at 7:00pm. We will post any updates here and on our FaceBook page.
Click here to read the complete current Diocesan guidelines with respect to safely managing outdoor cemetery flower services, issued on May 30, 2021. Please understand that published regulations are always subject to change, guided by the provincial Chief Medical Officer of Health.

Children's BBQ and Campfire an Overwhelming Success
Our Children's BBQ and Campfire which was held on Wednesday evening of this week was an overwhelming success. The rain finally let-up just before startup, and even though the wind was from the Northeast, it did not dampen the spirits of some 30 children, parents and grandparents. Federal MP Ken McDonald and Rev Sam also came along and joined in the festivities. We extend many thanks to the ladies who helped with the hotdogs and treats, the guys who managed the campfire, and of course our music man.

All Saints is Live-Streaming 10:00am Services
Every Sunday morning at 10:00am, All Saints CBS will be live streaming our Holy Eucharist service on FaceBook, and it will later be archived on YouTube as well. Please understand that as we are becoming familiar with this new technology we may have a few bumps along the way, and we ask for your patience and feedback in this regard.
While we are only currently live-steaming on Facebook, in the very near future we hope to simultaneously live-stream on both FaceBook and YouTube. We will continue to archive for future viewing at your leisure. We welcome your comments and suggestions via email at communications@allsaintsparish.ca

The Candle - Our Weekly Newsletter
For many years now, our Parish has published our weekly information bulletin, The Candle, that was handed out at each Sunday service. It was our way to keep our Parishioners informed about what was happening in our Parish, and a medium to seek support when we needed it. The current COVID pandemic has offered many challenges to our community, none the least of which is our ability to physically gather together in person on a weekly basis for our faith worship. We also loose the ability to "really" carry out some of our traditions that helped bind and grow our family spirit.
The Candle, like most other things these days, is now shared digitally, and can be found not only on our website, but we also attempt to email it to those for whom we have contact information for. To get added to that distribution list, simply click here to send us your details.
We would also like to ask you that if you have any items you would like to share, such as birthday greetings (oh how we miss the fun spirit of our Birthday Sundays) or anniversaries, or even an article that you may have seen or read that you feel others might enjoy, please feel free to pass them along to communications@allsaintsparish.ca. Together we can start "feeling together" once more - if not in body, then in spirit.
Also, as you will note when you read The Candle, you have the opportunity to bring special attention to a loved one by actually sponsoring The Candle for a given week, or even place a full page memorial, complete with a picture.
