e a Maris Church 1986

Bishop Spence was named Archbishop of Kingston in the spring of 1982 and was replaced by Bishop James H. MacDonald C.S.C. who was installed as Bishop of Charlottetown on October 7, 1982.

A great moment in the history of Stella Maris Parish took place on November 19, 1982, when Bishop James MacDonald ordained Floyd Gallant to the holy Priesthood.This was the second Ordination to the Priesthood to take place in our church; the first being Father John F. Buote in 1938. At Father Floyd’sMass of Thanksgiving on Nov. let an address was read, and a purse presented to him. As the fall of 1986 comes along we hope to celebrate the ordination to the Diaconate of Brendon Gallant. Brendon and Father Floyd are brothers. They are the sons of R.E. (Earl Bob) and Bernadette (Blacquiere)
