A Glimpse at Family Day! (New video and photo montage)

On Saturday, June 4th, 2022, the Anglican Diocese of Montreal hosted a Family Day. The project was inspired by the desire to reconnect and celebrate the joy of children and families following the long and difficult period of isolation during the pandemic. Family Day welcomed hundreds of people, from across the Diocese, to the grounds of St Philips Anglican Church in Montreal West for an energizing, organized, fun-filled community day. The weather and the event coordination were impeccable, resulting in so many smiles, so much enthusiasm and an abundance of community spirit. This was a time of building bridges, spreading joy and making friends; so simple yet with such impact! There was a bouncy castle, live music, pop corn, a picnic lunch, clowns, face painting and crafts... Bishop Mary herself served the cotton candy! Family Day provided a creative, accessible, community-centered ministry opportunity, bringing people together in the true spirit of unbridled JOY and connection! A day to remember!

Le projet a été inspiré par le désir de reconnecter et de célébrer la joie des enfants et des familles après la longue et difficile période d'isolement pendant la pandémie. La Journée de la famille a accueilli des centaines de personnes, venues de tout le diocèse, sur les terrains de l'église anglicane St Philips de Montréal Ouest, une journée communautaire énergisante, organisée et amusante. La météo et la coordination de l'événement étaient impeccables, ce qui a donné lieu à tant de sourires sur les visages, tant d'enthousiasme et une abondance d'esprit communautaire. C'était un moment pour construire des ponts, répandre la joie et se faire des amis ; si simple mais avec un tel impact ! Il y avait un château gonflable, de la musique live, du pop corn, un déjeuner pique-nique, des clowns, de la peinture sur visage et de l'artisanat... L'évêque Mary elle-même a servi la barbe à papa ! La Journée de la famille a fourni une opportunité de ministère créative, accessible et centrée sur la communauté, rassemblant les gens dans un véritable esprit de JOIE débridée et de connexion ! Un jour à retenir !
