The first months of the year often unfold with quieter rhythms across the Diocese of Algoma, yet they are far from idle. From worship and pastoral ministry to governance, social justice engagement, and careful preparation for Lent, Easter, and the spring gathering of clergy, Archbishop Anne’s winter calendar reflects the steady work that sustains the life of the Church.
These months also include important moments of travel and leadership beyond the diocese, as Archbishop Anne continues to serve the wider Church in provincial and national contexts.
