I am pleased to announce that the Rev Juanita Clark, who is licensed at Vancouver General Hospital, will join the rotation of Deacons (non-stipendiary) serving at the altar at the Cathedral.
Deacon Juanita Clark is a cradle Anglican and a vocational Deacon ordained in 2018 (Diocese of New Westminster). She completed her Internship at St James (Vancouver); and her Certificate of Theological Studies at the Vancouver School of Theology. She served her first two years in the parish of St. John’s (North Vancouver); then, following a call to pastoral care, she has served under Chaplain Bryan Rivers (VGH) for the past 4 years. Juanita is currently completing a second Unit of Clinical Pastoral Care at VGH; a 6-month Internship in Long-term care (North Vancouver); and, is a member of Lion’s Gate Hospital's on-call team of Spiritual Care Practitioners. As a contemplative, Juanita feels very privileged to be a vowed member of the Benedictine Canon Community of St Aidan’s; and, to occasionally Preside at the Cathedral's Compline Service.
Please join me in welcoming Deacon Juanita to the team of Sacred Deacons serving at the Cathedral.
