The Rev. Canon Susan Clifford retired on March 31 from her ministry in the Area Parish of the Valley with her last Sunday service on March 13, 2022.
Rev. Canon Susan was ordained a deacon 18 years ago in 2004 at St Paul’s Cathedral in London England and in 2005 to the Priesthood at her parish church at St. Paul’s Winchmore Hill where she served served a four-year curacy. After returning to Canada and the Diocese of Ottawa, she came to Eganville to her charge at Ascension Kilaloe, St. John’s Tramore and St. John’s Eganville.
Canon Susan has weathered many challenges and seen many changes throughout her priesthood including the formation of the Area Parish of the Valley. Her constant guidance, love and prayer through the growing pains of this formation are cornerstones to the successful establishment of this concept of “Parish.”
Rev. Canon Susan will be taking this next year to discern where Jesus is now leading her.
We wish her peace, time of quiet reflection, joy through renewal and love to be found in every experience.
