Remembrance Day

Wednesday, November 11 | Gardens of Gethsemani 10:00am - 11:30am

You are warmly invited to join us at Gardens of Gethsemani on Wednesday, November 11, from 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., as we come together in prayer and reflection to honour the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country.

The morning will begin with Holy Mass at Evangelist Chapel, celebrated by Father Galvon, a veteran of the Royal Canadian Navy. Following Mass, we will gather at Veterans’ Plaza for a commemorative ceremony, featuring a moment of silence at 11:00 a.m. and the sounding of the Last Post. Let us come together in gratitude and remembrance as we honour those who gave their lives for our freedom.
