Fixing a 120-yearold family vestment By Mary Brown PRINCE ALBERT — Archdeacon Andrew Hoskin recently tried on his greatgrandfather’s cope, which is suspected to be more than 120 years old. His great-grandfather was George Thorneloe, who was born in Ireland in 1848. He was educated at Bishop’s College, Lennoxville and was ordained in 1874. He was the third Bishop of Algoma, elected in 1896, and in 1915 he became the Metropolitan of Ontario. He died in 1935. Thorneloe College in Sudbury is named after him as is a village in Ontario. He had two children, one of them being Andy’s grandmother Joyce who married an Anglican priest. They had four children, the oldest of them was Hoskin’s mother who also married a priest. Out of the three children they had, two of them were priests, one of them being Andrew who married Mary Lou. Out of their four children one of them is a priest, Jonathon Hoskin, formerly of Swift Current. The cope was passed down to Andrew’s brother, Derrick Hoskin, a former bishop of the Diocese of Calgary, and when Rev. Hoskin was appointed as archdeacon in Thunder Bay in the Diocese of Algoma in 2001, his brother presented him with the garment. The archdeacon then moved to the Diocese of Saskatchewan, where he served as priest in charge of St. George, Prince Albert; St. Stephen, MacDowall; and Emmanuel, St. Louis. He then retired and the very next day became part-time interim priest at St. Alban’s Cathedral, where he served until, he retired again and the very next day became part-time Continued on page 5
Baptism writ large
Things became a bit crowded around the font at St. George’s, Saskatoon on Oct. 7, as an originally planned service of baptism for four candidates slowly expanded to include a total of 14 infants, children, teens and one adult from two families. Here some of those baptized or their families receive their baptismal candles from the Rev. Emily Carr. Picture Doris Vanderkooi

REGINA — Archdeacon Dell Bornowsky retires from the Diocese of Qu’Appelle on Dec. 14 and is thanking everyone for support over the years. “As I leave the role of diocesan executive officer and assistant to the bishop, I thank God for the fellowship in the gospel that I have enjoyed with my fellow parishioners, committee members and clergy. “I am especially thankful for Bishop Rob and my colleagues in our splendid synod office team. Please continue to support and encourage them when I am gone. “I am glad to have played a part in our pioneering Mission Action Plan. As a building contractor I understand the challenge of renovating a house while still living in it. There is still much to be done. The ongoing renewal of our Church requires in all of us determination, kindness and courage. “I am thankful for the
co-operation, appreciation and patience of so many as I endeavoured to be an enabler, sometimes an enforcer, but always an encourager and a fixer. “Susan and I are not sure of our next chapter but we trust our Lord will continue to lead and provide. Since the Lord seems to delight in those who cast themselves on His mercy, I exhort you even more to give Jesus first place your life and put your hopes for the future into the hands of our trustworthy God. Farewell!” Bornowsky served his postulancy at St. Aidan, Moose Jaw, from 2007 to 2010, while he was the renovation project manager there. After being ordained deacon, Bornowsky was appointed rector of Big Country Parish (centred on Kindersley) in April 2010, and ordained priest on May 2 of that year. In March 2015 he was appointed part-time executive officer of the diocese and rector of St. Philip, Regina. In the spring of 2016 he became full-time executive archdeacon.
