On Sunday, June 11, the Parish of the Church of the Holy Trinity, White Rock welcomed the Reverend Arthur Nash who presided at the 8am Celebration of Holy Communion and vested and participated in the principal Celebration of the Eucharist at 10am. Like many priests around the world, the Reverend Nash was ordained on St. Barnabas Day, June 11. The particular June 11th for Arthur was in 1969, so in 2023 he celebrated 54 years of ordained ministry.
The Reverend Nash is well-known around the diocese as his ministry over much of the past two decades has involved interim priest-in-charge positions at more than several diocesan parishes. To those of a certain vintage, the Reverend Nash is best known for his long incumbency at St. Margaret's of Scotland. A White Rock resident, Arthur's last interim post was at Church of the Holy Trinity, White Rock, which concluded happily with the appointment of the Reverend Joseph Dirbas as rector just over a year ago.
Many thanks to Deacon, the Reverend Paul Richards of Church of the Holy Trinity for sending in these photos and for letting diocesan comms know about this noteable anniversary.
