St. Augustine’s Faith Development

I would like to take this opportunity to wish a very
Merry Christmas to all of our catechism families, along
with everyone that helps make our catechism sessions
so wonderful. May your Christmas be filled with joy, peace
& love and may the New Year be filled with God’s blessings.
Looking forward to seeing you all in 2025….
With peace & blessings to all. Eileen Caissie, Co-ordinator Faith Development
 On behalf of Deacon Frank Quinn and myself,
I want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a
Happy and Holy New Year.
God has blessed us in so many ways over this past
year, let us be grateful and praise Him. The greatest gift
he has given me has been the response of the people to
His call. The outreach to the needy, the hungry,
the homeless, those in need of a safe haven as their
country is no longer a safe place for them. So much is being accomplished. People are
bringing their talents and gifts of perseverance and imagination and courage and a faith that
knows the generosity of God will give them what they need to succeed. The young people
taking such an active part in church life has been a revelation to us all. People stepping up
to share the faith through catechism, RCIA, adult faith, the youth group has been
exhilarating.
Our staff and our volunteers continue to exceed expectations. This cannot continue
without that faith put into action by all of us. I could not be happier to be your pastor.
Sincerely, Fr. Angus

formation is relevant to new members of baptismal preparation teams as well as a
refresher for existing members. Facilitated by Trevor Droesbeck and Mark Mahoney, the
formation will follow the themes and guidelines outlined in Pastoral Recommendations
for the Baptism of Children, and will involve the resource that has been used in our diocese for the past
several years and will include a dialogue around working with parents, the rewards and challenges of being
involved in the ministry; what’s working and (maybe) what’s not; as well as ways we can be more effective.

INVITATION: Solemn Opening of the Jubilee Year 2025: The Jubilee of 2025 is a significant religious
event under the theme “Pilgrims of Hope.” This theme reflects Pope Francis's call to rekindle the flame of
hope in a world facing numerous crises. The Holy Father invites all dioceses worldwide to solemnly celebrate
the opening of the Jubilee on Sunday, December 29, 2024, the Feast of the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary, and
Joseph. The faithful of the Archdiocese of Moncton are invited to take part in this important bilingual celebra-
tion, which will gather priests with the Archbishop for a three-part event on December 29, 2024:
1:30 PM – Saint Bernard’s Church: Gathering.
1:45 PM – Pilgrimage: Walk toward the Cathedral.
2:00 PM – Our Lady of the Assumption Cathedral: Solemn Mass.
Those with mobility limitations are welcome to proceed directly to the Cathedral.
The Jubilee is an opportunity for everyone to embark on a pilgrimage of hope. We are called to seek signs of
hope and to be signs of hope in our families, for our neighbors, the imprisoned, the sick and dying, the
young, and the elderly. I personally invite each of you and encourage you to join us for this special event that
unites us with the global community. Indeed, hope does not disappoint!
+Mgr Guy Desrochers, C.Ss.R.
