Rev. Bob Gilbert recently officially joined the staff of St. Columba's Port Hardy and St. John's Port Alice. He is a recently retired United Church minister who made Port Alice his home just over a year ago. He will be leading services twice a month in both churches as well as community visiting and pastoral care in both towns. He will be facilitating a midweek gathering in Port Alice and a study group occasionally in Port Hardy. We are so pleased that he decided to come out of retirement on a part-time basis.
The Diocese of British Columbia acknowledges that for thousands of years the Coast Salish, Nuu-chah-nulth, and Kwakwaka’wakw peoples have walked gently on the unceded territories where we now live, work, worship, and play. We seek a new relationship with the first peoples here, one based in honour and respect, and we thank them for their hospitality.
We currently do not have regular office hours. Please contact the Church or minister via phone or email for pastoral care or questions. Email via the Contact form link located on the upper right of every page.
We thank you for registering to attend in-person worship at St. Columba's Port Hardy. A reminder that, at this time, people are respectfully asked to worship via our online option if they are unvaccinated, though we are not checking proof of vaccination at worship services. We also ask everyone to evaluate their current health status using provincial guidelines each time they arrive at the church and wear a mask at all times in the building.
