Hi! On Sat. Aug. 6th our Halifax Companions' parishes held a 'Marian Day' out at St. Paul's parish in Herring Cove. About 125 people took in the outdoor Mass and morning session, with another 65 staying on for the afternoon program. The Mass was celebrated in the Our Lady of the Rosary Grotto. Fr. John Fletcher was one of the featured speakers. Joining Fr. John were CC Frs. Tim Devine, Rob Arsenault, Dennis Hayes, and Allan Macdonald. Photos of this event, as well as photos from a previous event held in the same grotto (at which Frs. Brian Christie and Ben St. Croix were present), can be viewed online at our PictureTrail album: http://www.PictureTrail.com/gid8220891. Special thanks to Esther Lancaster and Kathy Conrad for sending along these photos! Peace - Fr. John Vandenakker
