On Saturday, June 22nd, the Diocesan community gathered with joy and gratitude to witness the ordination to the diaconate of five new deacons including two of our own: Claude St-Denis and Sarah Lehman.

Claude, who has served as our Worship Animator, and Sarah, a faithful member of the Server’s Guild and an intercessor, were ordained alongside others in a beautiful diocesan liturgy. Claude will continue to serve among us as a curate at the Cathedral, while Sarah will begin her ordained ministry at St. Catherine’s, North Vancouver.

The now Rev. Claude St-Denis served as deacon for the first time at the 10:30am Eucharist on Sunday, June 23rd, and we look forward to welcoming the Rev. Sarah Lehman as deacon at the 10:30am Eucharist on Sunday, June 29th.

We give thanks for their vocations, their ministries, and the many ways they have already enriched the life of the Church.
