The Order of the Diocese of BCThe 2025 Investiture service will take place on Saturday, October 25, 2025, at Christ Church Cathedral, Victoria. The purpose of the Order is to honour and give special recognition to members of the diocese (and in the case of honourary awards, those not part of the diocese) who have given outstanding service over a significant period of time in their baptismal ministry. We are delighted that our very own Ed Bennington is being recognized for his dedicated service to St. Mary’s and is a recipient of the Order of the Diocese this year. It would be wonderful to have as many of us as possible at the service. To watch the livestream of this service: |
