Shrove Tuesday 2020 on Nanton Avenue
The annual Synod Staff pancake breakfast for Shrove Tuesday went up a few notches for 2020 with the premiere leadership of Building Manager (since May of 2019) Regan Gorman.
Regan, who has considerable experience in the catering, restaurant, hospitality and event planning businesses teamed-up with Synod staffer, Michèle van Teunenbroek, and they prepared and presented a memorable meal.
Regan and Michèle were up very early as everything was set and prepped before 8am.
Executive Assistant to the Archbishop’s Office, Bill Siksay arrived with fresh fruit to augment the pancakes and breakfast meats and some beautiful flowers to brighten the atmosphere.
At 8:45am, Archbishop Skelton led prayers of gratitude and the staff members present enjoyed a wonderful meal together. It was wonderful to welcome the Rector of St. John’s, Shaughnessy, the Reverend John Stephens who was able to join the Synod team for breakfast.
Here's is wishing everyone a wonderful Shrove Tuesday and a Blessed and Holy Lent.
