Bishop Stephen London to Lead Rememberance Service in Jasper

Bishop Stephen London invites St. Mary's and St. George's Anglican Parish and Jasper community members to join him for a remembrance service at the corner of Miette Avenue and Geike Street in Jasper on Sunday, October 13 at 10 am.

People are welcome to join a prayer circle which will be located outside the fenced-off property near the church sign which was spared when wildfire burned down 358 structures (homes and businesses). The July fire consumed nearly everything on the church property, including the church, hall, rectory, and even the bell.

“We will invite people to pray what’s on their hearts and minds, and sing with us acapella-style,” he says.

Bishop Stephen will be joined by the Rev. Prowse, St. Mary's and St. George's honourary assistant who was ordained in the Jasper Anglican Church when he finished seminary. He had been evacuated to Valemount, B.C. along with many other Jasper residents, and has since been living with his sister in Edmonton and worshiping at All Saints’ Cathedral.
