Today is the Feast of John the Evangelist -- aka St. John the Apostle, John of Patmos, and/or John the Divine.
The Anglican Church here in Canada has an order of nuns, with oblates and associates, founded in 1884, called the Sisters of St. John the Divine (SSJD for short). It no longer has a presence in western Canada, but at one time it operated a Priory and retreat house in Edmonton as well as a house in Victoria, B.C. The sisters still actively minister at St. John's Hospital in Toronto, hold retreats at the convent there and provide spiritual directon services. They have also been a source for hand-stitched altar linens. You can find out more about them HERE. May this bless your day. 😊
