The Jersey Lifeboat Association was honoured to be invited to yesterday morning’s Sea Sunday and Blessing of the Boats at Bonne Nuit Harbour.
The short and meaningful service was led by Reverend Beverley Sproats of St John’s Parish Church. Following the ceremony, Reverend Sproats blessed the JLA’s inshore lifeboat Albert Pinel, before boarding St Catherine’s Lifeboat to carry out the traditional blessing of the vessels in the harbour.
The JLA would like to thank the organisers for including them in this special occasion, alongside St Catherine’s Lifeboat, Channel Islands Air Search, and the Mission to Seafarers. A heartfelt thank you also goes to all those who attended and supported the event; maintaining strong ties with the wider community remains paramount to everything the JLA stands for.
Your lives, your crew, your boats.
