It’s Easter, and fifty years ago St. Paul’s celebrated its first Easter in the Hackett Boulevard building. This was only the second service  in the church: the high altar had been consecrated on Maundy Thursday, and there were no services on Good Friday and Holy Saturday.

All three photographs show the rector, J. Raymond McWilliam, at the altar. Notice that he stood with his back to the congregation. In the third photo, David Van Hattum is the crucifer. Can anyone identify the others in these snapshots?
