Sunday, June 13th there was a very special celebration at Holy Cross Church in East Vancouver.
Holy Cross Priest-in-charge, the Reverend John Shozawa marked 45 years of ordained ministry.
Father John’s 45 years of ministry have included three tenures at Holy Cross; 1964-1978, 1995-until his retirement in 1999 and the current tenure beginning in 2006. Father John celebrated the Eucharist and was delighted to have the Reverend Dr. Cyril Powles and his wife Marjorie in attendance. Following worship there was a festive lunch in the parish hall and a fabulous and
patriotic cake.
