Christmas Luncheon
December 16, 2009 at the Cunard Centre for a festive celebration with musical entertainment,
"The John Gracie Christmas Show".
Loneliness, danger and separation from loved ones are just some of the challenges that seafarers face every day.
The Halifax Mission to Seafarers is a Canadian non-profit charity. As part of a worldwide network of Anglican sponsored Missions, the Halifax Mission offers seafarers help and support when their ships arrive in port.
Our chaplain, managerial staff and volunteers reach out to them by visiting them on their ships, offering a warm welcome and whatever other help may be needed. Our Mission provides an interdenominational chaplaincy ministry.
Under the guidance of our Chaplain and manager - our Seafarers Centre in Halifax provides a place where seafarers can relax away from their ships, get local information, find help with problems, share in worship, and phone or email their loved ones.
A long way from home...
Our Mission not only provides phone cards, we are also an agent for money transfers. With our help, people can transfer money to home - usually thousands of kilometers away.
Our ministry team take seafarers on shopping excursions and sporting outings, as well as making hospital visits to those who have come down with an illness or shuffered an injury.
