Saint James Anglican Church

warmly welcomes all to worship with us.  We are located at the Armdale Rotary in Halifax, Nova Scotia (Canada) and trace our history at this site back to 1857.  Here, you will find a schedule of worship services, the bible readings and hymns for this week, a calendar of parish events, an index to many activities, and an information pamphlet.

 

We seek to live out the Christian faith in the Anglican tradition, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. We strive to grow as a welcoming, friendly, parish family that has strong liturgical, pastoral and teaching ministries. We are dedicated to fostering the values of the Christian faith in our parish, and reaching out to the wider community.

 

St. James Parish is a part of a diocese in The Anglican Communion. Members of The Episcopal Church are invited to worship with us while in Halifax

Past, Present and Future

There was an excellent turn out at the Parish Gathering held last Sunday following the 9:00 am service. The event started with a pot-luck lunch which was a tremendous success thanks to the generous contribution by so many.

Members of Fairwyn Developments Ltd. presented their final report on property development followed by a question and answer period. There were 103 parishioners in attendance.

A parish visioning exercise was facilitated and 68 parishioners participated in the discussion. In small groups, participants were asked to respond to the following: What kind of parish is important to you and your family as we move into the future? How do we make that vision a reality?

The Primate on the disaster in Haiti

Haiti has been devastated by a terrible earthquake. Thousands are feared to have died and many more injured. The people in Haiti have suffered so much in the past 10 years. Hurricane Jeanne ripped through the island in 2004 and in 2008 tropical storms took a huge toll. Now a new disaster. Through the Primate's World Relief and Development Fund, our church has made an initial donation of $15,000 for emergency relief through Action by Churches Together (ACT).
