On Saturday, December 10, 2005, Father Gerry White, pastor of St. Dunstan’s parish and Father Joe Cochrane, pastor of Holy Trinity parish in Saint John, co-celebrated the Senior’s Anointing service at St. Dunstan’s parish. Over 150 parishioners participated in this special service held especially for them.
Immediately following the service, lunch was prepared and served by members the Pastoral Council. Along with piping hot homemade soup, guests were treated to a singalong, led by a happy group of "singing seniors".

What a wonderful way to relax on a Saturday.
Good food and good conversation – what a great combination!
