SYDNEY — Bishop Brian Dunn closed the Catholic Diocese of Antigonish renewal congress with a message of encouragement for the approximately 300 delegates in attendance, made of up parishioners, deacons, women, religious and clergy from all corners of the diocese.

“May the delegates of this congress be the salt of the earth and the light of the world for the renewal of our diocese and parishes, especially as we implement our diocesan pastoral plan,” Dunn said in his closing remarks.

The delegates spent the last four days at the Membertou Trade and Convention Centre developing a set of actions and strategies that the diocese and all the parishes can begin to implement over the course of the next five years as a way to renew the church in eastern Nova Scotia. The congress theme was “Rebuilding My People, the Church.”
