On Wednesday, April 18, many of the clergy of the Peace Arch Deanery were present for a special clericus meeting to honour the Reverend Fr. Neil Gray who has retired after 35 years of full time ministry, the last 15 as rector of Holy Trinity, White Rock.

The Reverend Stephen Rowe, rector of the Anglican Parish of the Church of the Epiphany, Surrey was the keynote speaker and photographer which is why he is not seen in the photos. Rector of St. Mark's, Ocean Park, the Reverend Craig Tanksley was preparing with spouse Holly for their April 19, 2018 departure to the Holy Land and sent his regrets.

Peace Arch regional dean and rector of St. Helen's, Surrey the Reverend Stephen Laskey hosted the event.

The event was made more memorable by the distribution of badges bearing an excellent photograph of Reverend Gray and worn proudly on the left breast (in most cases) during the event.
