Beginning the Season of Creation with Pilgrimage

The communities of St. Thomas and Holy Cross started the Season of Creation, Saturday, September 3, 2022 with a pilgrimage.

From St. Thomas we walked down to the Fraser River and up to Little Mountain. We sauntered along park paths, streets and sidewalks. Our route took us through the cemetery and up to a celebration of the Eucharist in Queen Elizabeth Park. We wandered from the excitement of starting through the delight of unexpected discoveries. We walked through the tedium of expected weariness to our triumphant arrival at Holy Cross and the delicious meal awaiting us there. It was a joy to travel together in good company.
