A catered meal and a chance to connect with the CCS community and the friends and families of our graduates and Companion. Tickets are $60 ($30 for CCS students, $15 for children under 12).

Congratulations Lisa and fellow grads! I will be babysitting a 4 and 1 1/2 year old, so unlikely to be able to watch. Wishing you all the best for your upcoming journeys! Blessings on all of you and your future
Congratulations, Ann, on your nomination as a Companion of the Centre. I always remember your willingness to be of service, whether it be a personal favour or regarding official discernment queries. Such service seemed to come naturally from you.
I look forward to celebrating with you all from afar. May it be a wonderful ceremony… May the Creator’s grace continue to accompany on your faithful journey.
Congratulations Lisa (& all) on your coming ordination. May this day mark the start of a wonderful journey with divine purpose, joy, and happiness in God’s plan for your life. May the light of the Holy Spirit guide your work, helping you make a positive impact on the lives you touch. (you already are).. Congratulations and may God’s blessings always be upon you.

I would like to add my congratulations to Ann Naylor being honoured as this year’s Companion of the Centre. Ann you have a beautiful gift that just flows so naturally from you and that is your inner peace. I have been a privileged recipient of your leadership gifts when I attended the Leadership Development course there. Thank you for all you give and have given with love and compassion. We are all enriched by your gracious spirit.
