Shrove Tuesday 2019 at the Synod Office
There is a lot going on around the Diocese of New Westminster this time of year. The Season of Lent begins on March 6, there was a new priest inducted rector at St. Paul’s, Vancouver, March 4, Archbishop Skelton and the Diocesan Ambassadors are still buzzing about their trip to the Episcopal Diocese of Northern Philippines, February 17-27 and there is a full slot of parish and diocesan events scheduled to take place over the next few weeks. However, it’s always fun to cover the Synod Office Shrove Tuesday pancake breakfast as this could arguably be the first Lenten event that occurs in our diocese.
Pancakes, seasoned, cured pork products and fruit were served at 8:30am, March 5 at 1410 Nanton.
Enjoy the photos and here is wishing you all a wonderful Shrove Tuesday and a Holy and Happy Lent.
