From Ngozi to Vermilion

Bishop Jane and her assistant Jennifer Wirun took our companion Diocese of Buyé visitors Bishop Sixbert and Clotilde on a rural road trip last Friday to the Vermilion Agricultural Fair. They were welcomed by Town of Vermilion Mayor Caroline McAuley and St. Saviour’s Rector the Rev. Elizabeth Metcalfe. St. Saviour’s has been serving hungry fairgoers from its grandstand booth since 1915. On the fairgrounds Bishop Sixbert and Clotilde sampled a prairie favourite, Saskatoon pie (made during the parish pie-making bee), crushed canola seeds to make oil, watched a demonstration of the massive farm equipment, pet Clydesdale horses in the barn – and munched on mini doughnuts and cotton candy on the midway, before visiting St. Saviour’s Anglican Church.
