April 16, 2022 was the 50th anniversary of Ordination to the Priesthood of The Venerable Ronald Harrison.

Archdeacon Harrison is well-known to many in the diocese as his ministry posts include: Rector of the Parish of St. Augustine; Rector of St. Philip, Dunbar; Associate Editor of Topic (photography division); Archdeacon of Vancouver and Executive Archdeacon of the Diocese of New Westminster. Ronald retired in 2012.

Ronald was ordained to the Transitional Diaconate at St. Mary's, Kerrisdale by Bishop David Somerville in 1971. In 1972, he was priested while "on loan" (for future considerations to be named later) as an Assistant Curate in the Episcopal Diocese of Ohio. He was ordained in Cleveland.

To celebrate the beloved cleric, a few of his friends (and some other people he knows) gathered for a celebratory luncheon on Wednesday, April 13.
