Clergy and Staff News Around the Diocese

We are pleased to welcome Ms Deirdre Thornton as the diocesan Screening in Faith Administrator. Deirdre is a parishioner at St Alban the Martyr, Burnaby. December 15-22 or so will be a transition as the current Administrator, Ms Dana Isenor, hands over the task. The email address will continue as the static contact for Screening in Faith matters.

The Bishop has appointed the Reverend Greg Jenkins as the Chair of the Diocesan PWRDF Unit. Greg succeeds the long-serving former chair Peter Goodwin who retired some time ago. We are glad to have Greg assist in rebuilding the presence of the PWRDF work in our diocese. Historically, our diocese has been one of the top contributors to PWRDF. The Reverend Jenkins is Rector of St. Alban the Martyr, Burnaby and Regional Dean of Royal City/South Burnaby.

The Reverend Lilian Elliott has signified to the Bishop her desire to retire as deacon at St John the Apostle, Port Moody and in the Deanery of Tri-Cities/North Burnaby effective December 31, 2021. The Bishop has approved her request.
