Job Posting - Incumbent Priest
Update October 5, 2025

Overlooking the nearby Rocky Mountains, All Saints Anglican Church in Cochrane, Alberta extends a warm welcome, a sense of belonging, and the opportunities to grow.  We are a church rooted in the traditional Anglican liturgy while embracing contemporary worship music. 

Cochrane is a rapidly growing community with an expansive network of trails along the Bow River, excellent schools, cultural celebrations, recreational opportunities, many local amenities and connected neighbourhoods.  Our town is a short drive to both the conveniences of the City of Calgary, and the majesty of the mountains.  

We are seeking a full-time Incumbent who will come alongside us as we seek to grow in our personal faith, and in our mission to share the love of Christ with our community.

Please contact our Diocesan Executive Officer, The Rev. Charmaine Evans for information on applications and the Parish Profile.

Deadline for applications will be October 31, 2025

Transition Process
Status Update

The wardens and deacons have met with the Archbishop and the Executive Officer as our parish begins the process of seeking a new incumbent for All Saints. Because we have been in a transition for so long, we are praying that this will not be a protracted time.

Due to the necessary confidentiality for those being considered or who are applying to our parish, we cannot share the names of those who are being considered.

The Rev. Fariborz Khandani
Long term disability

Update on the Incumbent

Please be advised the Reverend Fariborz Khandani, after a lengthy illness, is on permanent Long Term Disability. Fariborz has expressed his regret and sadness about this difficult transition. He loves our parish, and despite his spirit being willing his body is not able to continue his ministry with us. All Saints Anglican Church expresses gratitude to Fariborz for his ministry at our church, and we continue to hold Fariborz, Shirin and their family in our prayers. 

 

Rest assured Sunday services will continue as planned, and the Pastoral Care Team is available to support the congregation. Please hold our church’s leadership in prayer as we seek a new incumbent for our parish, with consultation and support from the Archbishop and the Diocese.
