The Ordination of Jonathan Gibson
|
ORDINATION TO THE PRIESTHOOD Saturday 25th May at 10.30 a.m. at St. John the Evangelist by Bishop Frederick Henry in the presence of Msgr. Jeffery Steenson, Ordinary |
Welcometo the website of St John the Evangelist, Inglewood, Calgary. From 1905 to 2011 we were a parish of the Anglican Diocese of Calgary. The parish was dissolved in December 2011 when the majority of parishioners were received into the full communion of the Roman Catholic Church. We were the first Anglican Use parish in Canada, formally erected as a Mission Parish of the Deanery of St John the Baptist, within the Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of St Peter, on 7th January 2013. Our commitment to serving the people of Inglewood and wider Calgary remains as firm as ever.
In accordance with the 2009 Apostolic Constitution of Pope Benedict XVI, Anglicanorum Coetibus, the Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham (England and Wales) was established on 15 January 2011, the Ordinariate of the Chair of St Peter (USA) was established on 1 January 2012, and the Ordinariate of Our Lady of the Southern Cross (Australia) was established on 15 June 2012. The Deanery of St John the Baptist, for Canadian Ordinariate communities, was established on 7th December 2012. Please browse this website for further information, updates, history, photographs of parochial life, and for details about the many ways of involving yourself in our work and mission, or to find out more about the work of the Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of St Peter.

St John the Evangelist, Inglewood
St John’s is a friendly, family-oriented and welcoming Roman Catholic community, worshipping in one of Calgary’s oldest churches, located in historic Inglewood, the oldest neighbourhood in the city. The former Anglican parish was founded in 1905 (as part of the Church of England in Canada), and the present church dates from 1911, a living tribute to the work and ministry of the parish’s second rector, Canon Gervase Gale. It was designated as a Municipal Historic Resource in 2010.
Rooted in Catholic teaching and practice our worship is infused with our noble Anglican liturgical, musical and spiritual patrimony, as reflected in our liturgy, preaching and teaching. At 10.00 a.m. on Sundays the Parish Mass is celebrated ad orientem at the High Altar with incense, and includes hymns, plainsong and a homily. Mass lasts about 1 hour and 30 minutes, and a Nursery and Sunday School are in place for toddlers and children. Refreshments follow Mass in the Cross Hall, adjacent to the church. Evensong and Benediction is every Sunday at 4.30 p.m. (Stations of the Cross and Benediction in Lent). Mass is celebrated daily in the parish, apart from Mondays. Tuesdays at 12 Noon, Wednesdays at 10.30 a.m., Thursdays at 6.30 p.m., Fridays at 12 Noon and Saturdays at 9.00 a.m. Mattins is said, in Choir, from Tuesday to Friday at 8.30 a.m. (9.30 a.m. on Wednesdays). Eucharistic Adoration is offered every Wednesday from 5.00 p.m. to 7.00 p.m. Confessions are heard from 8.45 to 9.30 a.m. on Sundays, and a priest is available to hear Confessions after all weekday Masses, and at other times by appointment with the Parish Priest. We are a growing parish, celebrating the joy of being Catholic, striving to make disciples of all nations, and conscious of our call to help heal the divisions in Christendom. We rejoice in the historic gesture of the Holy Father in giving us the opportunity to enter the fullness of Catholic life in communion with the Apostolic See, whilst retaining elements of the patrimony of our Anglican tradition as a precious gift “nourishing the faith of the members of the Ordinariate and as a treasure to be shared.” |

Anglicanorum Coetibusis the generous response of the Holy Father to the many requests that have been submitted to the Holy See from groups of Anglican clergy and faithful in different parts of the world who wish to enter into full, visible communion with the Catholic Church. The Apostolic Constitution opens a new avenue for the promotion of Christian unity while, at the same time, granting legitimate diversity in the expression of the Catholic faith.
Please note that we are a Roman Catholic community, in full communion with our Holy Father, Pope Francis. You do not have to have to have had any association with Anglicanism in order to attend any of our Masses or services. All Roman Catholics are permitted to receive Holy Communion at our Masses, and are most welcome to share in our fellowship. |
