Diocese of Huron

Diocese of Huron The Diocese of Huron is the presence of the Anglican Church of Canada in southwestern Ontario. Paul's Cathedral, London, Ontario.

The Diocese of Huron was founded by Royal Letters Patent in 1857, its See City designated as London, Ontario, and its Cathedral (also by Royal warrant) St. The Diocese of Huron is unique in the Anglican Communion for having had elected its Bishops from the beginning. Benjamin Cronyn, then Rector of St. Paul's Church, London, was elected to the new see and Queen Victoria promptly appointed him Firs

t Bishop of Huron. Consecrated by the Archbishop of Canterbury in Lambeth Palace Chapel, Cronyn founded a large and vibrant Diocese, known for its "low-church, evangelical bent", and populated by missionaries from the Church of Ireland. Much has changed since its foundation, but the Diocese remains large and vibrant, although the "low-church character" has faded a great deal in the past two decades. Huron is a diverse and vibrant community with more than 200 churches stretching from Windsor to Port Rowan to Tobermory. At the heart of Huron are its people; congregations of faith opening their doors and their hearts to their neighbours and to the world.

In today's post-Christendom society, at a time when free parking passes for visiting clergy at hospitals, customary invites for church leaders to community events, and religious ceremonies in public spaces are being scrutinized or discontinued entirely, it is a gift and a blessing whenever faith communities are invited to partner with secular groups or institutions.

The funeral service for the Most Reverend Percy O’Driscoll will be held at St. Paul’s Cathedral on Wednesday, 27 May 2026 at 11:00 a.m. Although there is no formal visitation, the Cathedral will be open an hour before the service for quiet prayer and gathering to meet friends.

Archbishop Percy’s express wish was to have his funeral at St. Aidan’s, London, the parish where he made his home after retirement but the building is not large enough to accommodate all who would like to attend. The service at St. Paul’s therefore will be a St. Aidan’s funeral led by parish clergy and other lay leaders, with the participation of Bishop Todd.

The service will be live-streamed and can be viewed at this link: https://www.youtube.com//streams
A reception will follow the service.

All postulants and licensed clergy are expected to attend but may sit anywhere in the nave. (Clergy will not vest for the service.)
