Celebrating Easter in Charlottetown
Thanks to our chaplain, Fr. Bob Coady, we experienced a profound celebration of both the Lord’s Supper and His Passion. Fr. Bob’s deep and respectful consciousness of the significance of these events, both in his and our lives, deepened our awareness of our call to journey with our God to Calvary. Our journey reached its climax in the joyful celebration of Christ’s Resurrection.
In true “Maritime Fashion”, we continued our celebration later in the day in gratitude for all the day’s blessings!
