Ministries
Each week, from September to May, join Deacon Sam to reflect on the Sunday lectionary readings in anticipation for the upcoming weekend services. The Deanery Bible study is a great way to grow your understanding of God’s Word and salvation history, and meet new friends from around the region. Everyone is always welcome!
Bible Study
Throughout the year, groups gather together around a book, film series, or course to discuss the Christian life. Past formation opportunities include studies on the Nicene Creed, reflection groups on the Catechism of the Book of Common Prayer, and participation in online courses provided through Montreal Diocesan Theological College.
Formation
“God's chief gift to those who seek Him is Himself.”
— Edward Bouverie Pusey
The sacraments are outward and visible signs of inward and spiritual grace, given by Christ as sure and certain means by which we receive that grace (The Book of Common Prayer). The Anglican Church of Canada recognizes Baptism and the Lord’s Supper as the two sacraments instituted by Jesus Christ. In addition to Baptism and the Lord’s Supper, the Church recognizes Confirmation, Marriage, Holy Orders, Anointing of the Sick, and Reconciliation of a Penitent as important parts of the life of faith.
In Baptism, we enter into the Body of Christ and are united with the faithful. Baptism is the first step in the Christian life.
If you’re interested in preparation for Baptism, Marriage, Confirmation, or are simply interested to learn more about the sacraments, please contact a member of our clergy.

Pastoral Care
Pastoral care is rooted in the Christian call to minster to people in the midst of crisis, illness, or grief. The Church is a source of spiritual health through prayer and the sacraments. In many situations and circumstances, you may seek additional support through intentional prayer requests, home visits, hospital visits (including Last Rites), or a meeting with clergy. If you are in need of pastoral care, please contact a member of the clergy below.
