25th Anniversary of Father Rick's Ordination
4 June 2000

Sunday 4 June was a day of celebration at Saint James' Church, as the Parish joined with Rick and Judy Marples to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Father Rick's ordination as a priest in the Anglican Church.

An exquisite harp recital was followed by a presentation from the children.

The Choir presented Father Rick with an Ottawa Senators sweater, suitably labelled, and the congregation gave him a new stole (still in the making).  Bishop Peter sent him a letter of greeting and congratulations.

Everyone proceeded to Tomkins Hall, where Rick, by now happily wearing his sports attire, cut the celebratory cake.  Above, he poses with Marg Hartley; below we see him with members of his family.
