In order to be included in a timely manner, brief notices should be supplied to the Associate Editor by fax, e-mail or “snail mail” by the end of the month, one month before the insertion is desired. Detailed and longer texts of upcoming events will not be included in this section, but should space allow, could be the subject of articles and notices elsewhere in the Saskatchewan Anglican. We are happy to list any regular or upcoming church events and activities in the section of the paper and to post notices for these as well in the paper when space allows.

St. Benedict’s Chapter Meetings at All Saints’, Saskatoon: The Canon Communities of St. Benedict (OSBCn) provide a contemporary Anglican framework for the living out of Benedictine Christianity. It is, in part, a recovery of the English tradition of canon communities that flourished before the English Reformation but is also an adaptation of St. Benedict’s Rule suitable for Christian living in today’s world.

They also worship together and come together spiritually several times a day in prayer by praying the Daily Office.
All are most welcome to attend. For more information, contact Bishop Chad: [email protected] www.benedictinecanons.org
Hospital Chaplaincy: – A friendly reminder to all Anglicans who find themselves being admitted to any hospital in Saskatchewan. Upon being admitted you are supposed to be asked if you wish to be identified according to your denominational affiliation. Up until recently, this information was permanently kept on your personal hospital record. But due to changes with the SHA, this is no longer so.
Unless this information is registered every time you are admitted, the local hospital chaplaincy may not know that you are in hospital. Of course, you can ask your nurse or family to contact your local chaplain at any time; that is the surest way to get a visit during your stay in hospital. With the resignation of the Venerable Dan Hughes, who had served as Hospital Chaplain for a number of years, a team of clergy and lay-pastoral visitors will carry out these duties for the near future until a new Hospital Chaplain is appointed.
To reach the Anglican Hospital Chaplain call or text 1-639-470-7732.
