With forest fires threatening, Fathers Gregory and Samuel and Brother Moses evacuated Holy Transfiguration Hermitage at Bridge Lake on Saturday night and arrived safely but very exhausted in Cranbrook on Sunday afternoon, July 16.
The winds tripled the size of the Ashcroft fire over the last couple days and it is now 423 square kilometres and heading towards the hermitage. They will be heading to stay with Fr Lawrence Reinheimer at his new home in Wynndel. They are requesting that people pray but please do not come to see them.
