About Us

About Us

The Church of the Holy Spirit is located in the Dartmouth region of the Anglican Diocese of Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. We are on the corner of Gaston Road and Regency Drive in the Southdale district.

Parking is available in front of and behind the church. The church is easily accessible; there are no steps except for those that lead to the altar. There is a wheelchair-accessible pew for those who need it and their families. There is side access to the altar rail (no steps) or the sacrament can be brought to those in the pews. The hall is located on the lower level. There is a mechanical lift available for those with mobility issues. There are wheelchair-accessible washrooms on both levels.

For those traveling by public transit, Metro Transit Bus # 66 stops directly next to the church.

Home Communion

Home communion is available for those who are sick or shut in. Please leave a message at the church office (902-463-6544) with your name and phone number and we’ll be in touch.

Environment

We have completed several renovations to go green. In recent years, we have redone the roof and insulation. Our windows and lights are energy-efficient, and have transitioned to natural gas. We have a beautiful courtyard for our church community to enjoy. This green space is great for enjoying coffee with friends after church or for quiet reflection and prayer. We even opened this space to our furry friends for the blessing of the animals on the Feast of Saint Francis.

Community Outreach

Alongside Hope

Formerly known as The Primate's World Relief & Development Fund

Alongside Hope has been connecting Anglicans in Canada to people in need since 1958. Once named for the Primate, the head of the Anglican Church in Canada, in 2024 the membership approved our new name. Read more about our history, our volunteers and our governance structures here.

The Mothers' Union

Supporting families around the world

An international Christian membership movement, actively supporting families and communities in need of support worldwide since 1876.

Anglican Church Women

Any woman who is a member and who attends an Anglican Church is welcome to become part of the Anglican Church Women (better known as ACW).  Meetings are generally held once a month (currently suspended due to COVID-19). We support our Church through fundraising and then putting those funds to work for our parishes and the diocese.
