On Sunday January 22, the VEC celebrated the annual Vigil for Christian Unity hosted this year at St. Michael’s Chapel on the campus of St. Michael’s College in Colchester. The theme of this year’s service was reconciliation. The prayer service drew upon the image of walls of separation and division that exist between Christian communities, created by the”stones” of realities like “hate, contempt, false accusation, and pride.” Father Richard Berube, SSE spoke eloquently of the need for unity within our common faith in Christ and encourage those present to work diligently for reconciliation. Following the service, refreshments and fellowship were hosted in the Edmundite residence.
The Vigil for Christian unity is an annual event scheduled for the third Sunday of January every year. Next years Vigil take place on Sunday January 21st, 2018
