Farewell BBQ for Matt & Leslie Kieswetter

September 31, 2025

After 8 3/4 years with the St. Andrew's Memorial Church congregation, Fr. Matt Kieswetter moved on to a new ministry as Archdeacon of East Huron, based out of St. james' Church in Paris, Ontario. St. Andrew's said farewell to Matt and his spouse Leslie with a BBQ lunch after the 10 a.m. Holy Eucharist. We celebrated and thanked not only Matt for his devoted and inspiring ministry to us, but also Leslie, his spouse, who became an integral part of many of the St. Andrew's activities, such as organising and working at out Christmas Bazaar, and as part of the Scocial Committee in planning numerous fun functions, some even being virtual online events during the pandemic. The cake is NOT a lie!

2024 St. Andrew's Christmas Bazaar

November 30, 2024

One of two major social and fund-raising events (the Time-and-Talent Auction being the other) in the life of our Parish.

Featuring the usual Christmas-themed merchandise, but also crafts, knitting, baked goods, jewelry, and art, as well as a raffle-draw on on a wide variety of items, ranging from a new hockey stick signed by members of a Canadian World Championship team to a current still shrink-wrapped Taylor Swift vinyl recording.

This year we were joined by a number of parishioners bearing bazaar goods and contributing their labour from the former St. Columba's Church, Waterloo, who will be joining our community owing to the closure of their church, and much of whose liturgical "hardware" and art will coninue to be used and valued at St. Andrew's.
