Bishop's Diocesan Update

Dear Friends

I have just returned from my annual visitations to our Quebec James Bay parishes. The trip began in Mistissini with the ordination to priesthood of Elizabeth Sipos. While it turned out to be a bad weekend for some of the parish leaders, I was so pleased that six clergy were present along with guests from Sudbury. Elizabeth’s parents were so very thankful for the parish’s welcome and support of Elizabeth that they presented a beautiful quilted banner for the church (made by Mrs.Sipos).

I had not previously driven through this portion of the Diocese so Ruth decided to travel with me and so we could enjoy some time together as we visited each community. I managed to get lost once on the road from Lebel-sur-Quevillion to Matagami, but otherwise we did very well…took loads of pictures, and in Radisson spent too much at the local craft store!

Elizabeth Sipos Ordained to the Priesthood

Wednesday, 20 June 2012 13:58

On Saturday, June 9^th, clergy from across the diocese travelled to Mistissini to participate in the ordination of Elizabeth Sipos. Elizabeth has been Deacon-in-Charge of the parish of St. John the Evangelist in Mistissini since her ordination to the Diaconate in October 2011. The Bishop has now appointed her to be Rector of the parish.

The Rev. Canon Cliff Dee gave the homily and spoke of the life and ministry of Scottish Martyr Columba, whose missionary endeavours he related to our work in this diocese.

Guests from the Diocese of Algoma attended as well as Elizabeth’s parents and close family friends. Mrs. Sipos presented a quilted banner to the parish in thanksgiving for their welcome of Elizabeth to their community.
