Long, Long Night of Hope

This past Sunday, St. John's the welcomed Megan Bowers, North Shore Community Liaison Coordinator, and Jana Sasaki, Director of Operations, from the Lookout Housing+Health Society to present them with a cheque for $13,458.56 from the Long, Long Night of Hope fundraiser.

Since Donna Lawrence created this fundraiser in 2017, the parish has raised awareness of homelessness in our community and over $100,000 for the North Shore Shelter. Thanks, Donna, for inspiring the team and the entire diocese. On May 13, 2023, the Members of the 122nd Synod of the Diocese of New Westminster identified Homelessness and Housing Affordability as the number ONE 'priority' for the ministry of the diocese for the next 1-2 years.
