FROM THE THRONE

Her Majesty Queen Marie-Adélina I bids the Kingdom's citizens, peers, and friends abroad to take heart in the work still before us, as the Crown extends its voice, its means, and its friendships. And as she begins her Tenth reign as Sovereign, she continues devoted to stewardship of this small but proud kingdom.

WORD FROM THE ROYAL CHAPLAINCY

The Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed (All Souls’ Day, Monday, the Second of November)

The Royal Chaplaincy, in service of the Navassan Reformed Catholic Church, the established church of the Kingdom, commends to the faithful the coming observance of All Souls’ Day, when the Church sets aside a day to remember those who have gone before us and to commend them to the mercy of God.

On the feast of All Saints we give thanks for those whose holiness is known. On the day that follows, we remember the rest: the parents and grandparents whose names we carry, the elders who kept the old songs, the ancestors whose labour and endurance made a way for us across the seas, and those whose names are known now only to God. No soul is forgotten at God’s table.

In Haiti and across the Caribbean these days are kept with great tenderness, as families gather at the graves of their dead to clean them, to light candles, and to remember with song and flowers. The Chaplaincy honours this custom, which the diaspora has carried to every shore, and commends to the faithful the keeping of a quiet remembrance of their own: a candle lit, a name spoken aloud, a grave visited or a photograph set where it may be seen.

Let us pray. O God, maker of the sea and of the shore, who hast numbered the days of all thy children and forgettest none: grant to thy servants departed the rest of thy peace and the light of thy countenance. Remember those whom we have loved, and those whom no one remembers; gather them into thy harbour, and bring us at last, with all who have gone before, to the safe haven where there is no more parting. Through Our Lady of the Seas, and in the name of thy Son, our Lord. Amen.

The Crown commends this observance to all who keep it, and extends its sympathy to every household that mourns.

FROM THE SECRETARIAT OF EDUCATION & CULTURE

The Charter of the Navassan Royal Broadcasting Service

The Service shall stand under the Secretariat of Education & Culture, and shall be charged to produce and carry programming on the Kingdom of Navassa, on the micronational community of which it is a part, and on the royal history of Haiti, for the instruction and delight of the Kingdom's citizens and the wider public, including content for the Kingdom's official YouTube channel.

FROM THE SECRETARIAT OF THE EXCHEQUER

The Crown Acquires a Majority Stake in POLISH Media

It is hereby made known that La Couronne Royale de la Navasse, Inc., on behalf of the Crown, has acquired a majority stake of fifty-one per cent in POLISH Media, the independent, culture-forward media brand founded by Her Majesty.

The Crown holds this stake in furtherance of the Kingdom's cultural and editorial mission, and in the conviction that a kingdom is the better for having a free press of its own making.

The Fiscal Sponsor of the Kingdom

The Crown gives notice that W.A.V.E. Women Inc. serves as fiscal sponsor of the Kingdom of Navassa, under the direction of its Executive Director, Madame Javannah Davis, Her Excellency the Marquise de Vienola, Lady High Chamberlain of Navassa. [Insert the Kingdom's standard tax-deductibility statement exactly as it appears in the support band of the Kingdom's website.]

The Crown extends its thanks to Madame la Marquise and to W.A.V.E. Women Inc. for their stewardship of this trust.
