"Thank you" from Jean Welsh - ODNW

On Saturday, November 7 2026, Jean Welsh was invested into the Order of the Diocese of New Westminster. The award was well deserved, as Jean gives her time and talents to our parish in so many ways, both large and small. She helps people in need on the streets or passing by the church building; she tends the gardens and grounds with love and meticulous attention; she collects food and clothing for shelters and the Mission to Seafarers; she is welcome personified.

After a weekend of celebration, Jean would like to thank everyone involved. She thanks Christie for nominating her, and thanks Father Shawn and Wardens Alison and Kathryn for their love and support. Jean is grateful for the generous support and good wishes she received from the congregation, and wants everyone to know how much she appreciates them.

We appreciate you too, Jean!
