News from the Chancery is published each week to share information and upcoming events with the people of the Diocese of Victoria.
We have three items to share with you today:
1) The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity Prayer Service will be held on Sunday, January 25, 2026, during the evensong service at Christ Church Cathedral in Victoria (930 Burdett Avenue). The service begins at 4:00 pm, and there will be a reception to follow. Christians from across Vancouver Island will gather to reflect on and celebrate our common faith. All are welcome to participate, either in person at Christ Church Cathedral or via livestream at: https://www.christchurchcathedral.bc.ca/live
2) Voices in Motion is seeking “duets” for its winter choir session—each duet is an adult experiencing memory loss together with their caregiver. No singing experience is needed; you are welcome to visit a rehearsal and give it a try. Rehearsals are 90 minutes of music and community, with choirs meeting Wednesdays at Sacred Heart Parish Hall and Fridays at the UVic MultiFaith Centre. For more information, please visit www.voicesinmotionchoirs.org.
Find a poster for Voices in Motion here.
3) We are pleased to congratulate Tony Joe on being named Chamber Member of the Year for 2026 by the Greater Victoria Chamber of Commerce. A parishioner at St. Patrick’s Parish in Victoria, Tony also serves on the Diocesan Building Commission and is the realtor for Saint Clare Villa, a 24-unit life-lease condominium building for seniors located adjacent to St. Patrick's Parish.
