PRINCE ALBERT — Please join us in thanking Fr. Jordan Draper for his many years of service to the diocese and to his parish of Birch Hills, Kinistino, and Muskoday.
While Fr. Jordan will be licensed in the diocese until the end of October, he has now gone on two weeks of holidays, upon the completion of which he will be beginning new ministry in his home Diocese of Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island in the parish of Annapolis Royal.
First joining us for a couple summers in the diocese in our VBS program and as a summer student in La Ronge, and then later moving here to take up the post as priest-in-charge at the parish of Birch Hills, Kinistino, and Muskoday, Fr. Jordan has been hard at work since he arrived, serving in a wide variety of roles.
This has included executive committee, serving on the search committee in 2024, and serving as regional dean of the Melfort Deanery. Since 2022, he has been instrumental in reviving the VBS program in the diocese post-pandemic, which today is as strong as it ever was. Fr. Jordan is pictured here on a canoe trip in 2022 with Camp Okema near Stanley Mission teaching youths about the Lord’s Prayer.
Pray for safe travels as he makes his way across Canada, visiting friends and family along the way. Pray for a restful time of transition between these ministries. Lift up Birch Hills, Kinistino, and Muskoday in your prayers as they look to the future, and pray for Annapolis Royal as they receive their new pastor.
