Help Give Buyé Families Access to Medical Care

Help Give Buyé Families Access to Medical Care

Every year in September, the Diocese of Edmonton raises money to purchase medical cards for households in our partner diocese in Burundi

Each $5 we raise gives an adult and all children in their care access to medical care and 80% off medical bills for a year. Many of these households are led by grandmothers caring for orphaned grandchildren. They survive by subsistence farming and often can’t afford necessities. The Diocese of Buyé has identified access to medical cards as the most pressing need in the communities they serve. In 2025, we raised enough to provide life-changing medical care to 1451 households. Let’s keep it up!

You can donate in September at your church and on our website. There are no administration fees, so 100% of your gift goes directly to families in need.

Bishops of Edmonton

Bishops of Edmonton

This week, we had the pleasure of welcoming Bishop Anderson Jeremiah and his family to the Diocese of Edmonton. Bishop Anderson is the Anglican Communion’s other Bishop of Edmonton, where he serves as suffragan bishop of one of the regions of the Diocese of London, UK. His area of focus includes theology and the environment, justice, reconciliation, and anti-racism. He is married to the Rev. Dr. Rebecca Aechtner, who grew up in Alberta and now serves as Area Director of Ministry in the Diocese of London. They have two daughters.

Bishop Anderson, who began his ministry in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu, took time to visit with the Church of South India congregation that meets at St. Augustine’s, Edmonton. He and his family also spent a day with elders Verna Fisher and Russell Auger, learning some of the teachings of this land. We look forward to continued friendship between the two Edmontons.
