Sunday was Pentecost
and the end of the centennial celebrations for the Diocese of
Edmonton. In the morning Canon Bibiane and Rev Dominique visited St
Augustine's, Parkland, in Spruce Grove. Dominique's parish is twinned
with St Augustine's, and also named St Augustine's.

We were welcomed by
Archdeacon Joanne Webster, Deacon Cheryl Boulet, and the whole
parish. It was a wonderful opportunity to worship together as
Dominique preached.

Meanwhile, Bishop
Sixbert worshiped at All Saints' Cathedral, coincidentally bearing
the same dedication as his own cathedral, All Saints' in Buyé.
The afternoon saw a
wonderful celebration at All Saints' cathedral, with the ordination
of two deacons and a priest, the blessing of trees to be planted in
every parish as symbols of reconciliation with our First Nations,
welcoming a priest from Sudan, and the inauguration of a new Sudanese
parish in Edmonton. It was a splendid celebration for the Diocese of
Edmonton, and a joy to have our partners from Burundi sharing our
joy!
