Christ Church Cathedral was filled with people there to witness the ordination to the priesthood of Nicholas Saulnier, on April 30. Archbishop David Edwards presided, with assistance from Dean Geoffrey Hall and Bishop Nigel Shaw.

Nicholas was ordained a deacon at his home church of St. George’s, Moncton a year ago, and many from St. George’s made the trip to Fredericton. He has spent the past year under the tutelage of the Rev. Canon Kevin Stockall, serving in the Parishes of St. Mary, York; Marysville; and Stanley.

 The Rev. Jonathan Hallewell will resign as rector in the Parish of Renforth, effective Aug. 31, in order to take up a position in the Diocese of Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island.
