I cordially invite you to the concelebrated Inaugural Mass of our 175th Anniversary on
Sunday, October 2, 2016, at 4:00 p.m. at St. Dunstan’s Church in Fredericton. Among
those concelebrating will be the four bishops of New Brunswick, Archbishop Valéry
Vienneau of Moncton, Bishop Claude Champagne of Edmundston, Bishop Daniel Jodoin
of Bathurst and myself, as well as Bishop Richard Grecco of Charlottetown who will be
the guest homilist. The anniversary year, which begins with this celebration, will include
a variety of events to be planned and celebrated in the three regions. A proposed calendar of events will be made available to you in the near future. I look forward to celebrating with you “175 years of belonging”.
