The summer season is coming to an end! A new pastoral year is upon us, and with it
comes an invitation to the Launch of the 2026-2027 Pastoral Year day for the
Archdiocese of Moncton.

Pierre-Alain Giffard, author of the book “Revive and Thrive”, will be our guest speaker
and will help us reflect and gain insight of the challenges of parish life in today’s world.
This will be an opportunity for us to come together as missionary disciples of Christ and
share our experiences, and work together toward the common goal of helping our
parishes thrive.

THE SESSION FOR THE ENGLISH SECTOR WILL BE HELD ON THURSDAY
OCTOBER 8TH FROM 9:30 AM TO 3:00 PM AT THE DAN BOHAN FAMILY
CENTRE, 5 FATIMA DR. RIVERVIEW.

PLEASE REGISTER: In order to plan and provide refreshments for all gathered, it is
important we know the number of people who will be present. Please register with
Karen LeBlanc at 506-387-4198, or by emailing youth@diocesemoncton.ca to add your
name to the list of participants. The registration deadline is Friday, September 25.
IF YOU ARE RECEIVING THIS INVITATION AS THE CHAIR OR
REPRESENTATIVE OF YOUR PARTICULAR COMMITTEE, please share the
invitation with the other members of your committee who would benefit from
participating in this day of reflection.

We leave it to the discretion of the Priest-Moderators to invite others from your
community serving in pastoral leadership.

We look forward to welcoming you on Thursday, October 8th, and in the meantime
please do not hesitate to reach out with questions or concerns.
May the upcoming pastoral year be one where we accompany one another in the
footsteps of Jesus Christ, our model for evangelization.
