Memorial Service at the Maples, Dunvegan

The bishop and his wife were pleased to attend a special Memorial Service at the Maples, near the Dunvegan Bridge. The Parish of Dunvegan held the service to honour and remember the many people who, over the years, have contributed to the life, ministry, and history of the church in the Dunvegan area.

The service was led by the Rev. Deacon Danielle McKenzie, who did a wonderful job preparing the service and offering the reflection.

Following the service, the congregation of St. Helen’s, Fairview, graciously hosted those in attendance and prepared a wonderful lunch. Thank you to everyone who helped make this meaningful gathering a time of remembrance, fellowship, and thanksgiving.

Below you will find additional information from the Memorial Service, including a list of those memorialized, the Order of Service, the reflection, a brief history of the Mission of St. Saviour’s, and the story of the “Raft Baby of the Peace.”

May we give thanks for those who have gone before us, for the faith they shared, the communities they built, and the legacy they have entrusted to those who follow.
