INSTALLATION OF 15 LAY CANONS

For the first time in this diocese there were Lay Canons named. Yesterday was their Installation at the Cathedral. Pomp and Circumstance abounded. Here the Lay Canons have robes, like a decorated cape. I had a comment from a Lay Canon in the Niagara Diocese who rebuffed the robe "No way for him"  so 3.5 hours service in the am and the same in the evening, a way to fill a Sunday
