Greetings,
A quick introduction. I have met some members of the St. Andrew’s parish family since I started on September 1st and look forward to meeting you soon.
Born and raised in England, I moved to Montreal as a teenager with my family. I have called Waterloo Region my home since moving here in 1986 with my fiancé.
My first career was in engineering in a variety of industries including aircraft and automotive, before moving into my second career in business and consulting in range of areas including bread-making and ticketing, and most recently my third career is in ministry as a parish priest. You can read a little more about me on the parish webpage and in my Sermon on September 7.
Do not hesitate to reach out to me. In addition to Sunday morning, I will normally be in the office at the church on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings, 9am-1pm. I can be reached by email at margaretwalker@diohuron.org , or by phone or text at 519-577-7779.
Monday is normally my Sabbath and I will usually respond to emails the next day.
I look forward to journeying with you through this time of transition.
Blessings,
Margaret +
