This special anniversary fund has been initiated by Bishop Susan Bell to support local curacies throughout the diocese. The vision is to better equip newly ordained clergy who would benefit by working alongside seasoned priests allowing for a focused time of apprenticeship. Not all parishes can afford a second priest, so the hope of Bishop Susan is to provide parishes with financial support to underwrite the costs of training and forming new priests in a variety of ministry contexts.

Your support of this diocesan initiative will be a blessing to the Church for generations. All contributions are honoured but may we suggest a gift of $150, or perhaps $1,500 in keeping with the 150^th anniversary of the Diocese of Niagara? Maybe you even might consider a monthly pre-authorized gift of fifteen dollars a month or even $150?

If you would like to make a more substantial gift, please be in touch with Canon Drew MacDonald at drew.macdonald@niagaraanglican.ca.

Equipping right skilled and well-formed spiritual leaders is crucial for the flourishing of our collective ministry for the next 150 years! God bless you for supporting this important ministry.
