JOHN MORAN’S RETIREMENT – The Bishop has announced the retirement of John,
our Financial Officer effective at the end of June after 20 years of service to
the Diocese. Bishop James writes:
It is my hope that the Diocese would put together a
cash purse to present to Canon Moran at the banquet honouring him at Synod on
Friday, June 6th. If your
parish or any of your congregation wish to contribute to this cash purse,
please send your contribution to either Imelda Secker or Judith Coleman,
Diocese of British Columbia, 900 Vancouver Street, Victoria, B.C. V8V 3V7.
It is also my hope that this will come as a surprise to John and so I
ask that this request be kept confidential from him.
Sincerely, + James, Bishop
