The Annunciation of the Lord to the Blessed Virgin Mary

The Annunciation of the Lord to the Blessed Virgin Mary

March 25 - Holy Day

O God, you made us in your own image and redeemed us through Jesus your Son: Look with compassion on the whole human family; take away the arrogance and hatred which infect our hearts; break down the walls that separate us; unite us in the bonds of love; and work through our struggle and confusion to accomplish your purposes on earth; that, in your good time, all nations and races may serve you in harmony around your heavenly throne; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Double Honours for St. David’s John Horton

Double Honours for St. David’s John Horton

Two prestigious awards in the past three months is an unique experience, even in the life of widely acclaimed St. David, Delta’s parishioner John Horton. On the very date (December 9), previously scheduled for John’s Induction into The Order of British Columbia, he and wife Mary attended a Canadian Lifeboat Institute function at Royal Vancouver Yacht Club. Taken completely by surprise,  they were piped to the podium where John received The Duke of Kent Gold Medal in recognition of his exemplary dedication to lifeboat service and his captaincy of the Delta Lifeboat.

Vocation or Vacation

Vocation or Vacation

by Stephen Rowe

Recently we spent a week’s vacation on the east coast of Vancouver Island. As we sometimes do, we have taken a peep at the weather forecast before we left. Each time we looked it was different. Finally the week itself began and the sun was shining as we left North Vancouver. As we drove north on the Island we were treated to a lovely spring like sunset, with the mountains to the west.
