Yesterday, I received a pastoral letter from Bishop Chris asking all parishes to go back to our online formats for Sunday worship services, church gatherings, and meetings. The Diocese has made this decision with the hopes it will help keep our parishioners safe as the Omicron variant spreads. Our renters are not impacted. They will be able to make their own decisions about meeting in-person.

Here is the link for Bishop Chris' letter: https://www.anglicandiocesesaskatoon.com/news-events/jan-5-2022-letter-to-the-diocese-of-saskatoon

St. Andrew's services, gatherings, and meetings will be on Zoom format from Jan. 6 to Jan. 30. At the beginning of February, the Diocese will assess the situation in the province.

I thank everyone for your patience, grace, and cooperation as we navigate these times of pandemic.

May God be with you and guide us!

Yours in Christ,

We all strive to find truth in numbers affected in the pandemic, we all strive to be diligent in safety and action, in what we do and say. We as a community and ministry in faith need to look after all around us, in keeping our masks on correctly, diligent in hand sanitizing, and distancing from oth

A New Year's Message from Bishop Chris.

This past year could be best summarized in my prayers this morning as I prayed for forgiveness and thanksgiving for 2020 and was quickly reminded that 2021 is this year past… 2020 and 2021 resembled each other so much that it was disconcerting. Our church, society, and world lost two years in this...

Today is the commemoration of Rev. Simon Gibbons. Rev. Gibbons is the first priest from the Inuit.

Simon Gibbons 15
December 15
First Priest from the Inuit, 1896 — Commemoration

On this day we commemorate Simon Gibbons, who was the
first of the Inuit nation to be ordained as an Anglican priest and
whose ministry in the diocese of Nova Scotia gave the rest of
our Church a wonderful example of vitality.

He was born in Labrador, the son of a white settler and an Innu
mother. Both of his parents died before he was six years old,
and he was placed in an Anglican orphanage in Newfound-
land. The Church nurtured his intelligence, and he was encouraged to train for ordination. He eventually went to King’s
College in Nova Scotia, where he was ordained to the priest-
hood in 1878. Gibbons began his ministry as a travelling missionary in Cape Breton and laboured in conditions which taxed his physical endurance to the limit. He regularly walked a hundred-mile circuit to conduct services in isolated communities. He made his rounds even in the depths of winter, just to bring the comfort of Christ to the sick and dying; and in so doing he risked his life in blizzards or while crossing inlets whose frozen surfaces often gave way beneath his feet. Yet in all his exertions, despite fatigue, pain, and danger, Gibbons never failed in joy or in his ability to communicate the gladness of his service to the people he visited.

After seven years in this work he was appointed rector of Lockport; in 1888 he moved to the mainland parish of Parrsboro. In both parishes he supervised building campaigns and joined in the manual labour of raising the church frames, nailing the clapboards, putting in the windows, and moving the furniture into place. But it soon became clear that the strain of his earlier ministry had destroyed his physical resilience, and
though his spiritual joy was unabated, his health steadily
declined. He died at the age of forty-six on this date, December 15, in 1896.
