Dear Friends in Christ, It is with great joy that I celebrate

with you this sacred and holy season.

HE IS RISEN!
With these words I opened my Easter greetings to
you last year, really as we were coming out of the
pandemic lockdowns. I was so proud of everyone, We had
come out stronger than when we went in. God had worked
wonderfully through His Church.
He hasn’t stopped!
Basking in the glow of Father Mark Cherry’s Lenten
Mission, I am overwhelmed by the love and commitment
of our community’s faith. Prayer and service are such
powerful hallmarks of a healthy church. We are blessed to have been granted the graces to have
both vigorously expressed in our communities.
I was speaking with someone the other day about how there had been so many lean years in
our churches, but the faith of the people and the hard work that was needed to keep things going
has brought us to this blossoming of the faith. We are Easter people; but there is no Easter without
Good Friday. Let us continue
together!
On behalf of Father Damian and myself, I wish you a Holy Easter, I wish you the blessings that
come from a complete immersion into Holy Week.
God Bless All of You,
Fr. Angus Johnston

 Queen of All Saints International Outreach

In 2011 civil war erupted in Syria that forced millions of its citizens to flee their homes in
search of safety. By 2014, as the war continued its devastation, the world had to deal with the larg-
est refugee crises in its recorded history. Overwhelmed relief organizations called on world govern-
ments to give the growing number of refugees a safe haven. The Canadian government heeded the
call, and asked its citizens to help. After attending a public information session in Moncton, a few
Queen of All Saints parishioners felt that this was a way for our parish to fulfill their baptismal call “to
be Christ for one another” and committed to sponsoring a Syrian family in need. Within months
funds were raised, household necessities were collected and volunteers had committed to help the
family ease into a new life in Moncton. They welcomed this family in January 2016. Their efforts to
raise funds and household sundries was so successful, they realized they had enough to sponsor
another family. This new family arrived in November 2018.
Since that initial effort the International Outreach Committee of Queen of All Saints was
formed. It has continued to help refugees from Syria, Iran, Democratic Republic of Congo, Eritrea,
Sudan and most recently Afghanistan, by screening applications, helping families collect and submit
required official documents, collecting household supplies, raising funds, and helping newly arrived
families adjust to the culture and climate of NB and to navigate through government, medical and
educational agencies.
The need to provide a safe and healthy home for refugees has continued to grow. The UN
has estimated that over 115 million people worldwide are presently displaced from their homes be-
cause of violence, conflict, persecution or economic and environmental disasters. Our QAS Interna-
tional Outreach Committee continues to try and help some of those in need, but would like to ask
the parish for help in their efforts.
At present, there is a family of 3 young girls/women and one brother who have had to flee the
Taliban regime in Afghanistan. After months of difficult and dangerous travels, they will be arriving
soon in Moncton, and the committee is still in need of funds and household basics (furniture and
kitchenware) to help settle them here in safety.
Thank you to all who have already assisted and donated to this cause.

For more information on what this committee does and how you can help, please contact
Bill Black 506-850-8215
