Wish our 2026 Graduates and Companion Well
Next Saturday (April 18, 2026) the Centre For Christian Studies will hold its Annual Service of Celebration at St. Mary’s Road United Church, 613 St. Mary’s Rd, in Winnipeg. (Note the location change.) The ASC is our opportunity to honour this year’s graduates and recognize this year’s Companion of the Centre. Join us if you can, or watch the livestream on YouTube.
If you can’t make to the ASC to congratulate them in person, why not leave a comment on this page letting them know you’re thinking of them.
Those being celebrated at this year’s Annual Service are:
- Jenni Krall from Coppersands, Saskatchewan who will be receiving the Diploma in Diaconal Ministries
- Laurie Ladd from St. Thomas, Ontario who will be receiving the Diploma in Diaconal Ministries
- Cassandra Golondrina from Winnipeg, Manitoba who will be receiving her Anglican Certificate in Diaconal Ministry
- Andriel Pitter from Wolfville, Nova Scotia who will be receiving her Certificate in Social Justice
- Carol Stevenson-Seller, retired Diaconal Minister from Hartsville, PEI who will be receiving the Companion of the Centre Award
Help us spread the celebration widely.


Congratulations to all of the graduates and our companion! A new adventure begins!

Congratulations everyone!
I hope you find joy in the next stages of your ministry! I’ve found that CCS provides very relevant training for embarking on diaconal ministry in whatever form that takes. Blessings on your path.
