Nan Henderson Memorial Plan

Some years ago, the Executive Committee set up the Nan Henderson Memorial program to encourage and support new deacons and priests in their prayer life by providing them with a resource package on prayer. Nan was a long time member of the Canadian AFP Executive Committee and did a great deal of work for the Canadian AFP over the years.

Diocesan Representatives are asked and encouraged to be aware of ordinations which are taking place in their Diocese and present each ordinand with a package sometime during the ordination period (i.e. during the photos at the end of the service or at the reception following the service)

The program provides an excellent way of spreading the word about the AFP to new clergy and encouraging them in their prayer life. It is for example, very gratifying to hear such things as that a certain new deacon gave a very good sermon on prayer to his new parish only a couple of months after being ordained
