All Saints' Waterloo celebrates Jubilee

We marked this special occasion with a weekend of celebration from Friday November 12 -Sunday 14 November. In addition to our Jubilee Events, we celebrated the life and work of our late rector, Worth Campbell, who passed away 7 September, 2004. A memorial service was held 13 November on Worth's behalf. Eighty three members (including some of our founding members) came together in good cheer for an elegant Silver Jubilee Dinner that raised 10,000 for our Youth Outreach Project Fund.

Friday 12 November All Saints' hosted an organ recital by Mr. Hywel Duck who performed: "Presenting the Chorale Prelude" along with Ms. Anne de Graeve's contribution of "Some Lighter Entertainment on the Organ."

We topped our weekend off with a special Silver Jubilee Festival Eucharist with preacher and celebrant the Rt Revd Pierre Whalon, Bishop in Charge, Convocation of American Churches in Europe presiding over the service.

The All Saints' community extends a special and warm thanks to its founding members who are still with us in Brussels: Mike and Pam Breton, Julia Leigh, and Catrin and David Williams. We are grateful for the faithful support of our long-time members: Brenda Barleycorn, Carole Ducastel, Hywel Duck, Paul Francis, Nick Fern, Paddy Latham, Carole and Peter Ludlow, Denise Pinney, Jackie and Keith Price, Ken Jeynes, and Judy and Terence Whaley.

We thank our priests who have guided our flock over the years: Ted Berktold, Worth Campbell, Geoffrey Hahneman, Charles Atcheson, Kempton Baldridge and Jean-Pierre Herman. Our interim priests we appreciate as well: John Buchanan, Jack Childs, Fletcher Lowe, and Ted Petterson, as well as the rotation of priests from Holy Trinity including Peter Duplock. We especially thank our former Bishops Krumm and Bigliardi, Bishop Jeffery Rowthorn and our current Bishop Pierre Whalon.
