Ordination in Calgary

Praise be to God for the growing presence of ANiC in Calgary.

On June 30, 2013, the Rev. Tom Chi-Tong Lo was ordained to the Diaconate (transitional).  Almost 150 people gathered to witness the ordination and to give their support to Tom and Irene.  It was a blessing to see the strong bonds of unity and fellowship among ANiC churches in Calgary as the people from Grace Anglican, Good Shepherd South Asian and Good Shepherd Cantonese celebrated this joyous occasion together.  Many ecumenical friends from Chinese churches and theological seminary in Calgary participated as well.  This was truly an encouragement to the growing ministry of the Good Shepherd Calgary church plant among the Chinese community.  May the Lord continue to bless the ministry of Rev. Tom Lo and the people in Calgary.

Official Launch of Good Shepherd Calgary

Good Shepherd Calgary officially launched as an ANiC church plant with Bishop Stephen Leung officiating at a Holy Communion service on February 9 (Saturday) which was held at Our Lady of Peace Maronite Catholic Parish of Calgary (504 – 30th Ave, NW Calgary).  150 people joined the dedication service at which three adults were baptized – a real encouragement to this new Cantonese congregation.

Following this launch, Good Shepherd, a Cantonese-speaking congregation of 35-40 led by Evangelist Tom Lo, will meet regularly beginning February 17, 2013.

The group has been meeting for Bible study for two years as an evangelistic outreach ministry.  About half of the congregation are seekers. So far one family and three adults have been baptized and others are preparing for baptism.
