Eating Together

In his farewell sermon to us given on the Feast of Corpus Christi, Father Rob James pointed out that when we receive Christ in the Bread and Wine, we do so not individually, but together. It is a bond which...

The Anglican Rosary Ministry: A Thank You Message

We all get mail. It comes in texts, emails, and sometimes in a lovely thank you card. Today, the Anglican Rosary Ministry wishes to thank the Cathedral congregation for your immense generosity and support.

We have received an abundance of gifts recently: lovely notes, donations of retired bead necklaces (which we transform into beautiful rosaries), monetary gifts, and rosaries for the ministry to sell by donation in the Narthex. Thank you!

We have also received the gift of time from our new, occasional, and permanent members. As coordinator, I wish to express my deepest appreciation for your work. This ministry depends entirely on your creativity and time. Thank you!

About Our Ministry
The group meets once or twice a month in the Park Room from 9:30am to 1:00pm on Saturday mornings. We work together, chat, and open and close with a prayer prepared by one of our members. Our planning and decisions are truly a group effort.

Did you know that we provide all the necessary tools for you to keep, so you can work at home if you wish? We provide plenty of help for newcomers; one of our members will be your teacher, and any of us can help you problem-solve.

Over the years, we have created magnificent rosary gifts from the Cathedral to the Archbishop of Canterbury, Canada’s Anglican Primate, our own P. Jane Osler, and to several of our clergy upon ordination or transfer.

Join Us!
If you would like to join our group, please contact Barbara at bmb6@icloud.com. Our next workshop meeting is Saturday, July 25 at 9:30am in the Park Room. Drop by and see what we are up to. We are small, but we are mighty!

— Barbara Brown, Coordinator

UPCOMING DIOCESAN EVENTS

VST: Creed as Gift

VST: Creed as Gift

The Vancouver School of Theology warmly invites you to Creed as Gift, the 2026 Visiting Distinguished Scholar Public Lecture.

When we think of the Nicene Creed, we often think of it as establishing the boundaries of orthodoxy. However, it is much more than that. In Creed as Gift, The Rev. Dr. Kara Slade explores the role of the Nicene Creed as it shapes our language about God, serves as the lens through which we interpret Scripture, functions as a gift to the Church, and remains an act of praise and thanksgiving.

Dr. Slade is Associate Chaplain to the Episcopal community at Princeton University, Associate Rector at Trinity Church, Princeton, and teaches Anglican Studies at Princeton Theological Seminary. She holds a PhD in Christian Theology and Ethics from Duke University, where her research focused on Karl Barth, Søren Kierkegaard, and the ethics of science, technology, and medicine.

Monday, July 13 | 7:00 pm
Hosted by St. Mary’s Kerrisdale, in person and online via livestream.

Online participants will receive a Zoom link by email in the days leading up to the lecture.

Continue exploring these themes with Dr. Slade by enrolling in her VST Summer School course, Christology, Time and Scientific Modernity (July 13–17), where participants will examine how Christ-centred understandings of time challenge modern assumptions about history, society, and the Christian life: VST | Christology, Time, and Scientific Modernity

July 2nd Edition
Alongside Hope: Let There Be Light

Alongside Hope: Let There Be Light

St. Luke's Hospital in Nablus is a beacon of hope, providing life-saving care and serving as a crucial maternity hospital. St Luke's serves a population of 455,000 people, but daily power outages make safe care difficult.

The solution: bring light to St. Luke's - through the gift of the sun.

Alongside Hope is raising funds for solar panels, and the Wild Ride aims to fund 70 of them. One panel costs $865 (which includes installation, maintenance and other costs.) We want to raise $2000. Donations can be made here or by scanning the QR code on the poster above. 

We are taking on the “Watt’s Possible” challenge by: walking, cycling, running, embroidering and bringing all our talents to the fore!

Every dollar helps power neonatal care, oxygen machines, and essential services. Thanks to a generous donor, every gift to Light for St. Luke’s — including Wild Ride donations — will be matched dollar for dollar.

There's also a walk on August 29th at 10 a.m. that some members of the committee are doing. More information will be provided at coffee time after the 10:30 a.m. service on Sundays.
