A Quick History Lesson
The Late, +Joseph Patrick Napurano, elevated to bishop by His Grace, Archbishop Facione (Ultrajectine Tradition), created an independant jurisdiction entitled "The Anglo-Catholic Diocese of St. John the Divine", and placed the Seat of the Sea in Little Egg Harbor, NJ. USA.
Invited to Canada for a conference in 1991 by His Grace, Archbishop Mullan (Christ Catholic Church, Niagara Falls Ont.) he attended the blessing of the newly renovated Chapel of the Holy Spirit, at the headquarters of the Volunteers for Christ, under the guidance of Bro. Paul Ferrier (RIP).
During that visit +Joseph Napurano met David F. Milne, and the process began to see to ordaing him to the priesthood.
On Friday October 21 at 12 Noon, +Joseph Napurano ordained David to the Order of Deacon in Hamilton, and on Friday October 23, 1992 at 7:30 p.m., in the Chapel of the Holy Spirit, within the headquarters of the Volunteers for Christ, David was ordained to the Order of Priest and created Pastor of Our Lady, Queen of Peace,Hamilton,Ont.
18 months latter the Jurisdiction joined with the Anglican Episcopal Diocese South, under His Grace, +Francis Benning of Atlanta and +Joseph Napurano became Asst to +Francis Benning.
A falling out, of sorts, left the priests of the jurisdiction with the choice to either leave with +Joseph Napurano or remain with +Francis Benning. After discussions in Hamilton, the parish decided to remain for a time with +Francis Benning.
(NOTE: On March 5th, 1997 at 10:00 a.m. (roughly), in Little Egg Harbor, NJ, while returning from chemo treatment, +Joseph Patrisk Napurano and his sister we both killed in a traffic accident, 3/4 of a mile from home. He and his sister were interred at Ocean County Memorial Pk., Toms River, NJ. USA. (Eternal Rest grant unto themm Oh Lord).)
Two year latter, after being appointed chaplin for the GLBLT community of Hamilton, +Francis Benning excardinated Fr. David from the Jurisdiction and for the next 2 years there was no Ordinary for the Parish.
Following up on the recommendation of a fellow priest, Fr. David and the parish community joined with the OLD Catholic Church under Archbishop David Thomson. The date was October 23, 1997, Fr. Davids 5th anniversay of ordination.
After permitting a female to be raised to a priest under the jurisdiction of +David Thomson, Fr. David left the Jurisdiction and after bouncing between a few other prelates he setlled with His Grace, Archbishop Boniface Grosvold, the ORCC-Latin Rite. Fr. David assumed the title of Monsignor and Master of Ceremonies, along with continuing his duties as pastor of OLQP in Hamilton.
Between +David Thomson and +Boniface Grosvold, Fr. David came into possession of the ORCC-English Rite, once held by the late Archbishop Robert Burns and the Late Archbishop Andrew Johnston Cantrell. (+Cantrell was succceded by Archbishop +Facione who consecrated the late +Joseph Patrick Napurano).
Several Asst deacons and priests have come and gone, wanting to become members of the Jurisdiction, but following an enquiry by the NCICB, it was suggested that Fr. David was not legally consecrated after presenting documents proclaiming such. During the enquiry, +Wilson Sehorn, an Orthodox Prelate accepted Fr. Davids consecration and appointed him Vicar of the Western Rite. +Wilson had planned to sub-conditionally consecrate Fr. David, but a situation developed that made the option difficult.
In early summer a new deacon arrivied but quickly changed authorities as he felt that Fr. David could not supply ordination to him. To change that, Archbishop Boniface Grosvold, of the ORCC-Latin Rite offered for the third time to consecrate FR.David on Friday July 29th, in London,Ont. When a problem regarding neighbours was presented, and the option of doing the ceremony at OLQP was presented, it was declined as the Archbishop wanted to host.
On Saturday July 30, 2005 at 1:00 pm in London, Ontario, His Grace, Archbishop Boniface Grosvold STD elevated Fr. David Francis Milne to the Office of Bishop. As of that moment Bp. David became officially the Presiding Bishop & Ordinary for the ORCC-English Rite-In Canada.

You may also send your prayer intentions by e-mail and they will be entered into the Book of Intentions that sits beside the tabernacle 24/7 so that the requests are always before the Lord.
We are an inclusive community of faith based prayer, and we turn no person away who is seeking God in their lives, regardless of what that means to them. All needs are differant, as every person is differant. Prayer will draw us all closer to both God and each other.
Grace,Peace, and Blessings to you all.
