The Reverend Matthew Squires is a graduate of Queen’s College, and was received as a member of our Diocesan family. Matthew has been ordained through the ministries of Rt. Rev’d John Watton and the Rt. Rev’d Nigel Shaw, the Bishop who is Anglican Military Ordinariate for all of Canada, at St. George’s Chapel in Canadian Forces Base in Petawawa, Ontario.
Matthew, originally from Newfoundland and Labrador, is now a transitional deacon serving in Petawawa with the Special Forces as a Military Chaplain. Please pray for Matthew and all military chaplains.
Our Diocese is not new to loaning members of the clergy to the Canadian Armed Forces. Matthew is one of three full time military chaplains who are currently on loan from the Diocese of Central Newfoundland, along with Rev’d Dennis and Rev’d Beverly Kean-Newhook. Also, Archdeacon Terry Caines is a reservist chaplain to the Canadian Rangers (5CRPG) located in Gander.
