New Printed Weekly Bulletins
In the late spring, early summer of 2026, Holy Apostles Parish, along with our current
communications through our website and digital bulletin, will be adding a new full colour printed bulletin format with advertising. The bulletins are free to Holy Apostles Parish, as the advertisements cover the cost. They are high-quality bulletins, printed in full colour. The ads will appear on the back of the bulletins for the five churches that make up our Parish.
If you own a business and are interested in advertising, or know of a credible company that may benefit from this form of advertising, and would like to get some information, please call Shani Court at
902-314-5307 or email church.bulletin.advertising@gmail.com.
Please inquire as soon as possible. Advertising is an effective local way to reach a highly credible audience. We encourage businesses to support our new bulletins and parishioners to support the advertisers whenever possible.
FINANCIAL SUPPORT
Your generous donations help support the vital ministries, programs, and outreach efforts of our Parish. With your contributions, we can nurture spiritual growth, provide community services, and maintain a welcoming space for all. Every gift, no matter the size, makes a meaningful impact in fulfilling our Mission.
Four Ways to Give
1. Pre-Authorized Remittances (PAR)
PAR is invaluable to the Parish in these times, as these contributions still arrive even if you can’t. For the Parish, PAR provides a steadier and more predictable stream of funds. This is extremely helpful for budgeting and planning for larger projects. click here
2. E-transfer funds to holyapostlesparish16@gmail.com.
3. Place an envelope in the collection basket at Mass on Sunday. To request Parish-supplied envelopes, please get in touch with the office.
4. Donate using the link below. Your information will be securely processed by "Canada Helps". A Registered Charity & Social Enterprise, used by over 20,000 charities. Please note that when donating through Canada Helps, tax receipts will be issued by Canada Helps directly, not Holy Apostles Parish. click here
SACRAMENTS
For inquiries about Baptisms, Weddings, Funerals or Sacrament of the Sick (Anointing)
please get in touch with the Parish Office.
We live, work and play in Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral, current, and unceeded territory of the Mi’kmaq People. For more information on the Peace and Friendship Treaties please click HERE.
