Collection for Rev. Rebecca

As you may have seen in the most recent newsletters, our Deacon, Rev. Rebecca Yeo, will be ordained to the priesthood on Sunday, June 8, 2025, 4:00 - 6:30 pm at Christ Church Cathedral, 900 Burdett. All are welcome to attend the ordination, and parishioners from Rebecca's and Mona's parishes are especially encouraged to attend in support of their deacons in this important moment of their priestly vocation.

It is customary for a parish to help to equip a deacon for their onward journey, sometimes with new  vestments, or in other ways. We will be collecting contributions toward a purse for Rev. Rebecca, to be presented on 8 June, their last Sunday with us. This is a similar drill to previous collections for outgoing priests: these contributions do NOT go through the collection plate or the usual giving channels for St Philip, and tax receipts are not available. Larry Anthony, as one of our Wardens, is the "collecting point". Ways to give:

e-transfer: lsdanthony@shaw.ca

cheque: made out to Larry Anthony (not to St Philip)

cash in person to Larry, or marked for Larry via the office.
