Seirbheis Bhliadhnail na GidhligLoch Bhraoin Annual Gaelic Service Loch Broom

West River, Pictou County, NS

A large crowd was in attendance for the 8th Annual Gaelic Service held recently on a beautiful sunny

afternoon on the banks of the Middle River, at the Log Church in Loch Broom, Pictou County, on August

4th, 2013. The afternoon commenced with a re-dedication of the memorial cairn by the Hon. Charlie

Parker, MLA for West Pictou, which honours the memory of the Reverend James MacGregor and the

early Gaelic-speaking pioneers. MacGregor, who made it his lifes mission to serve the settlers who

arrived on the Ship Hector in 1773, and the Ships of 1801, served this Gaelic congregation until his death

in 1830.

The service was conducted in the Gaelic language, with a Call to Worship, readings from the Holy Bible,

the Lords Prayer and 23rd Psalm, hymns, and a Prayer of Thanksgiving. A solo was sung by Calvin

MacInnis. The sermon, a thoughtful message on the roles of Martha and Mary, was delivered by Kathleen

Reddy, and examined the age-old dilemma of balancing daily work tasks and busy duties, with finding

quiet time for listening and seeking to understand the human truths of our existence.

The afternoon concluded with a lunch and social under the old elm trees beside the church, and was

served by the West River Log Church committee.

Luingean 1801 - Ships of 1801

BIG NEWS! Just announced: Ships of 1801 will play at Mabou's Strathspey Place on

Saturday Sept 14th at 8pm. Tickets now on sale:

http://www.strathspeyplace.com/ships-of-1801-theatrical-concert/

Ships of 1801 asks: Who will remember? This theatrical concert

commemorates the music, dancing, humour, and storytelling that early

Scottish settlers brought with them to Nova Scotia when they arrived in

Pictou in 1801. Five ships sailed from Scotland that year The Sarah,

The Norah, The Dove, Hope, and Good Intent. The peoples music and

culture helped them cope with the hazardous ocean voyage, tragic loss

of life, deplorable on-board conditions, and the great uncertainty of

their futures. The concert features live original music, dance, and

Gaelic verse performed in period costume with a cast of local and

nationally recognized performers.

related to getting an authentic Gaelic sound to a student's speech.

Educator Margie Beaton from Mabou will instruct the intermediate/advanced

the Gaels have of expressing themselves on particular topics through the use of

songs, stories, pictures, and real life situations. This class would be suitable for

those who wish to expand on their vocabulary and who wish to make more use of

Nova Scotia Gaelic has its origins in Scottish Gaelic and, like Irish Gaelic and Manx, is a branch of the family of Celtic languages. It has been spoken in our province since at least 1773 and is rich in cultural expression through song, traditional fiddle and pipe music, step dancing, storytelling as well as customs and beliefs. NS Gaelic continues to make cultural, social, educational and economic contributions to Nova Scotia society.
