Dear Friends, I am pleased to announce that that Rev. Rod BrantFrancis has been elected as the new bishop of the Diocese of Moosonee. This significant appointment reflects Rod's unwavering dedication, exemplary leadership and commitment to his faith and ministry in the Anglican Church of Canada.
Rod has been the incumbent of the Parish of Tyendinaga in the Diocese of Ontario since 2016 where he ministers to the Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte along with his wife, Priest Associate Rev. Lisa BrantFrancis. Rod previously served in the Diocese of Moosonee from 2006-2016 before coming to the Diocese of Ontario. He was commissioned in the Church Army in 1994 and ordained a deacon in the Anglican Church in 2006 and priested in 2007 in the Diocese of Moosonee.
Rod’s election as bishop is a testament to his tireless efforts and the deep respect he commands among his peers. His vision, compassion, and steadfast faith will undoubtedly guide the Diocese of Moosonee towards a future ministering to all baptized Christians, fostering diocesan development and spiritual growth and stewardship, and commitment to walking in partnership for the implementation of the Indigenous Covenant.
Blessings on Rod and Lisa on their new journey together.
Yours faithfully,
Bishop William G. Cliff
XIII Bishop of Ontario
