St. Hilda’s is a place of welcome for all people – this includes those who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender.  We consider our sacred space a safe and receptive one for GLBT women and men to begin or continue their faith journeys.  Our congregation includes several gay and lesbian people, who are involved at all levels in the parish.  St. Hilda’s is one of eight parishes in the Diocese of New Westminster which made the decision to offer blessings of same-gender unions. 

The people of St. Hilda’s look forward to making our household of faith even more welcoming and inclusive through offering opportunities for worship and fellowship throughout the year.  Please check the Calendar of Events regularly for details.  Location St. Hilda's Church, Sechelt
