St. Catherine's Wednesday service was a Remembrance Day celebration.

For those Protestant denominations that follow the Common Lectionary of which the Anglican Church is one, the Feast of Christ the King is observed on the last S...unday before Advent Sunday. It is the end of the liturgical year and in some Lutheran Churches it is referred to as Judgment Sunday, but for many Anglicans it is referred to as Stir Up Sunday. A name inspired by the Collect in the Book of Common Prayer for that Feast Day: Stir up, we beseech thee, O Lord, the wills of thy faithful people; that they, plenteously bringing forth the fruit of good works, may of thee be plenteously rewarded; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. Historically this was also the Sunday when Christmas baking was begun as in stirring ingredients in a bowl: Christmas cake, Christmas puddings etc. It is also the patronal celebration day for three parishes in our diocese: Christ Church Cathedral, Vancouver, Christ Church, Hope and Christ the Redeemer, Cloverdale.

This excerpt from a last letter home is enshrined on a memorial plaque in St. Paul's Anglican Church, Charlottetown, PEI. We pray with Lt. DeBlois that the world will find lasting peace.
