Father Evanko brings Damien to life at HRC

Priest gives lively a lively performance about great saint

Father Edward Danylo Evanko as Damien.

Father Edward Danylo Evanko has performed as St. Damien since he became a priest in 2005. But his performance at Holy Rosary Cathedral was extra special for the former Broadway performer.

Rosary Cathedral.

"I've longed to present Damien in what I call my cathedral," Father Evanko said in a promotional video for the one man show. "When I say as Damien 'this is my cathedral this is where I was ordained' it will be a big tug at my heart."

Damien was performed on June 1 at Holy Rosary Cathedral in Vancouver. The show was presented by Redeemer Pacific College.
