News from the “Heart”
Join us for a Pollinator Planting Party! 🌻
Location: Farrell Street Park at St. Anthony Hall, 27 Farrell Street
Date and Time: Monday, April 22, 2:30-5pm (Earth Day)
This Earth Day, Nourish Nova Scotia invites you to a drop-in spring pollinator planting party across the street from our office, in the middle of Farrell Street Park (you’ll see us!). Come have snacks and get your hands in the dirt as we seed, divide and transplant pollinator plants to take home or to be planted in a community garden nearby. We’ll learn how pollinators help edible plants bear more fruit and also how pollinators support our neighbourhood ecosystems. The activities are suitable for all ages.

Society of St. Vincent de Paul Notice
It is with mixed emotions that we announce the closure of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, St. Peter conference this April. After nearly three decades of dedicated service, our esteemed members have made the difficult decision to retire from their roles. We extend our deepest gratitude to Anne, John, Dot, Cynthia, Greg, Joe, Mary, Jo, and all retiring members for their unwavering commitment and generosity over the years.
Effective April 5th, the last day of food delivery, marks the end of an era for our conference.
"The society has had wonderful and loyal members over the years. A note has been sent to our clients stating the closing date and an updated list of food banks and meal programs has been included. Thank you to the retiring members for their years of service and to the generous parishioners for their contributions over the years," Anne MacIssac.
Founded in 1978, the St. Peter Council of the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul has been a beacon of hope for those in need, embodying the teachings of Christ through direct and compassionate assistance. However, changes in delivery models have reshaped the landscape of our ministry.
Looking ahead, Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish remains steadfast in our commitment to serving the marginalized and vulnerable in our community. While the name of a ministry may change, our dedication to providing support and addressing emergency needs will persist.
We express our deepest gratitude to all Society members and ask for your prayers as we transition into this new chapter.
