St George’s Cadboro Bay respectfully acknowledges the land we stand and pray on. The soil here holds the history and footsteps of the lək̓ʷəŋən peoples. On the traditional territory of the Songhees, Esquimalt and W̱SÁNEĆ peoples, we uphold the hopeful and healing spirit of reconciliation. We promise to walk with truth and love in those footprints that connect and ground us.

8am and 10am services are in person. 10am is available by Zoom:

A huge thank you to all who helped make our summer Holden Prayer and BBQs possible! We hosted four sessions over the summer months, and the attendance grew over each session. St George's rose to the occasion!  St George's parishioners, the Inclusive Christians UVic group, friends, and neighbors prayed and broke bread together.  

Bishop Anna Greenwood-Lee will ordain Leslie Flynn and Lynn Mills to the Sacred Order of the Deacon (transitional) on September 14th, at 7pm at Christ Church Cathedral, Victoria. All are welcome to attend. 

This event will also be livestreamed from the Christ Church Cathedral website. 

NOTE: Is there anyone interested in serving as usher for this service? Contact admin@stgeorgecadborobay.ca

We look forward to celebrating Leslie and the occasion of her ordination to the sacred order of deacon. She has done much hard work, in her studies, in this parish of  St. George and beyond, to get to this moment.

If you would like to contribute to a gift and purse for Leslie, we will collect cash in the office. You can also donate online here [need to create option and put link], ensuring you click on "gift for Leslie." As this type of gift is not tax-receiptable, please don't include it as part of your regular envelope giving.

We will have a reception for Leslie after church on Sunday, September 17.
