My husband John and I moved to Kitchener in 2011 after living most of our lives in the Niagara Peninsula. We quickly discovered St. Andrew’s and became active members.
In 1998 I began the study of theology through Montreal Diocesan College at McGill University. In 2002 I discovered working with people rather than books was where I was called to be and enrolled at McMaster Divinity College in the field of Christian Studies and Pastoral Counselling. I remained there, part time for the next four years.
I was ordained as a Vocational Deacon in March 2004 at Christ’s Church Cathedral in Hamilton, Diocese of Niagara, and ministered to the people of St. Martin’s Church in Niagara Falls until it closed its doors. In the spring of 2013, I renewed my commitment in the Diocese of Huron and to St. Andrew’s. I enjoy all aspects of a Deacon’s responsibilities, centering on outreach and home visits.
John and I enjoy our two adult children and their families (two grandchildren light up our lives).
