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.

If you are interested in marching in the parade contact Pr. Lyndon at pastorlyndon@shaw.ca
Those marching will meet earlier around 10 AM. The parade begins at 11 AM. If you are arriving late, you’ll have better chance catching the parade near the end of the route leading into James Bay. There is a Pride Festival immediately after the parade at MacDonald Park in James Bay, where the parade ends.

The Shekinah Homes Society is a non-profit community of people residing in Victoria. Our mission is to build a community life for adults with a diverse spectrum of abilities, to create positive social change and enable mutual respect for everyone.

We envision a moral and just society where all people have opportunities to love, learn, work, and play in inclusive communities, where the worth and unique value of each person is revealed and honored, and where we joyfully celebrate our humanity, spirituality and chosen lifestyle.

During the month of July please join your Social Justice and Outreach Team (SJOT) by focusing your prayers and support towards the Shekinah Homes Society.

Your music director search team has drafted a job posting and full description, now posted HERE on our website. We will be advertising as widely as possible (on many sites) in the days to come.

Applications will be received into August and we anticipate interviews will be in the early Fall. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to any of the team members (Christine Conkin, Bruce Winter, Signi Murgatroyd, Judy Trueman, Peter Parker and Moira Millar).

It is so nice to have flowers on our Altar again! Just a reminder that we would love to have donations for our flower fund so we can keep providing flowers, both for the Altar and so we can share them with parishioners after services. 

Please contact Sandra Moore 250-721-1920 if you wish to have a dedication in the bulletin. Donations to our general flower fund can be dropped in the collection plate at any time.

We know that hearing all that goes on at worship can be troublesome - or touch and go - for some people. Our system includes a "T Coil" induction loop system that some hearing aids can connect with directly. If you're having trouble hearing during worship, please connect with Michael Marriott (michael_marriott@telus.net), who may be able to help get you better connected.

Our Treasurer Lawrence has prepared the Year-To-Date Parish Financial Update for the period ending April 30, 2024. Click the button below to read it.
