Our Parish
Our Mission
To support and strengthen our faith community, creating the opportunity to deepen our relationship with God in Jesus Christ and to build up our spiritual communion as disciples, brothers and sisters in Christ.
​
On this foundation, we hope to provide a welcoming environment for everyone who seeks the peace and love that comes from those relationships, and to reach out to everyone who needs to hear the message of the Gospel, through evangelization and charity.
Parish Vision Prayer
Heavenly Father, we the parishioners of St. Francis and St. Clare of Assisi Parish call upon you to guide, strengthen and support us as we move forward, united in pursuit of our shared vision. Help us always to be a welcoming community of Jesus' disciples who journey together in right Faith and certain Hope and live out His Love in word and deed.
​
May your Holy Spirit kindle in our hearts and illuminate our path as we strive to achieve this vision for our Parish. We make this prayer through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
Message from Fr. Nathanael
Welcome to the Roman Catholic Community of St. Francis and St. Clare of Assisi in Halifax, Nova Scotia. We are joyful to have you with us. I WELCOME you here, in the spirit of Christ Jesus our Lord.
We hope to meet Him in you and that you find Him in us and in those we serve in His name. Your presence is a true treasure and Gift. We open our hearts and Parish home to you with a deep sense of gratitude and fraternal friendship. We hope that you will make yourself at home in the house of the Lord.
“Righteous Father, although the world has not known You, yet I have known You; and these have known that You sent Me; and I have made Your name known to them, and will make it known, so that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them.” ~ John 17.25-26
The Lord revealed to St. Francis that he and the brothers were to greet everyone they met with the words, “May the Lord give you peace!” and it would greatly bless the brothers and those who received this blessing
When you visit us - may you be greeted with this same blessing of the Lord’s peace.
May the Lord give you peace ~ Fr. Nathanael
