2024 marks Christ Church Beaurepaire’s centennial as an Anglican parish in Beaconsfield – and we did it up right!
On September 15th at 4 pm 135 people joined Bishop Mary Irwin-Gibson for a special centennial Eucharist. The service ended with the launch of a new parish history book (see p. 11)and recognition of Dr. Michael Silverthorne and Yevgeniya Amis for their work on the book, as well as recognition of Pat and Gerry Simpson and Donna Gomes for their years of faithful service to the parish.
After the recessional a time capsule – to be opened 25 years hence – was buried at the corner of the church.
We then gathered in the parish hall for a sumptuous potluck dinner where we invited people to dress in a 1920s spirit (in honour of our founding year), or early 1960s (the current church was built in 1962).
Congratulations and a huge thank you to all the CCB parishioners who made this event a success!
