Parish Update

Dear Parishioners,

As many of you know, our dear priest Patrick is on medical leave at least until the end of the year. This news is hard for all of us and we will lean into one another for support. We welcomed the Rev. Georgina Harris as our Celebrant this week, and we will be arranging with our trusted supply priests (Christine Rowe, Gary Hamblin, and Georgina Harris) to lead the Sunday services through October. Archbishop John is assisting us in securing a priest for St. John's for the duration of Patrick's medical leave. We invite you all to keep Patrick close in your prayers. Please continue to respect Patrick's need for quiet and we ask that you do not contact him.

If you need assistance or information, please contact the Church Wardens:

Alison Brookfield at 604 988-1805

Kathryn Atkinson at 604 985-1310

or contact Donna in the church office at 604 986-1151 (Mon, Tues, Thur, Sat mornings).

A number of you have expressed that you would like to send a message to Patrick. There are several 'Thinking of You' cards at the Welcome Table for parishioners to sign and we will make sure that Patrick receives your heartfelt messages. 

Faithfully,

Alison & Kathryn
