Host a Refugee Sunday!

At the end of May, our Primate Archbishop Shane Parker issued an invitation to the Canadian House of Bishops to observe a Refugee Sunday. You can read the invitation HERE

As World Refugee Day is on June 20, you may wish to encourage your parish to host a Refugee Sunday this month. If that is not possible in your parish (June is a busy time for many of us!) you can choose another date that works best for you. Alongside Hope has prepared a wonderful selection of resources available for use to help you in planning.

Please check them out HERE

If you want to chat directly with the Diocesan Refugee Sponsorship Coordinator about this, please feel free to email me at anglicanrefugees@nspeidiocese.ca

Any stories, tips, ideas, you would like to share from your parish's Refugee Sunday events are most welcome too!
