Incumbent of All Saints’ Westboro and Archdeacon of West Ottawa
I was born in Montreal. My siblings and mother now live in Nova Scotia and Ottawa – the Maritimes are like a second home to me and I go there every summer. I love to spend time with family and friends. All three of my children and their partners live in the Ottawa area and we love playing board games together. I am an avid reader, stitcher, kayaker, camper and golfer. Madigan, Maebh and I (my dog and cat) enjoying spending time in the great outdoors.
I came to Ottawa in my twenties to attend Carleton University. I earned degrees in Classics and started a family. When my children were all in school I returned to university, this time in a response to a different call. I was accepted as a postulant of the Anglican Diocese of Ottawa and graduated from St Paul University and ordained in 2006.
I served in an inner-city parish (St. John the Evangelist), a rural parish (Fitzroy Harbour) and a suburban parish (Christ Church Bells Corners). Each parish has taught me more about faith and community in new and different ways. I am passionate about learning from others, continuing education and sharing what I have learned in creative and innovative ways. During the COVID lockdowns I attended workshops and conferences online, honing different skills and developing awareness.
It is my joy to serve and worship, teach and learn with you at All Saints in the village of Westboro.
From the very beginning I felt a call to respond to human need with compassion and a helping hand up. I am a dedicated advocate for social justice issues – they are the heart of my call to serve as a Christian and my call to ordained ministry. Homelessness, Human Trafficking, Street Youth Issues, Food Justice, Anti-Racism and Reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples are particular areas of focus.
I completed the School for Parish Development in Vancouver over a two-year period and developed many skills. These include the ability to create a detailed survey and assessment of a parish. This can lead to the collaborative development of Strategic Directions which reflect the engaged heart of the parish as it looks to the future.
Caring for the needs of the members of the parish who are shut in or suffering is one of the most fulfilling aspects of my call to ministry. A pastoral, listening presence is one of my strengths. In addition, I have training in conflict mediation, complex grief situations, palliative care response and suicide prevention. Lately I held a leadership role in trail initiative called HELP (Healthy End of Life Planning). We assessed needs and created comprehensive programs and workshops on grieving, caring for the caregiver, estate planning and more. I look forward to sharing this and more with the parish as we serve God together in this community at this time.

All Saints' Westboro History
All Saints’ was originally a rural church, built for merchants and civil servants living along Richmond Road outside the city of Ottawa. With the construction of a sawmill by James Skead in 1871, a few houses and businesses were built near the church. The settlement was known as Skead’s Mills, and the name changed to Westboro in 1899. In 1905, the area acquired police village status, with a population of 500. Construction of homes continued as the population rose steadily.
Construction began on the Chapel of the Holy Spirit, All Saints’ Westboro in 1865. It has been used for meditation, prayer and worship ever since.
Westboro Village was then in Nepean, Ontario along the bank of the Ottawa River where a number of sawmills once stood. The Chapel was built as a church for this community and marks in the floor were reported to have been made by the hobnails of the lumberjacks.
The design in the Gothic Revival style, was by Thomas Fuller who also designed the Parliament Buildings in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, and other churches in this region. His pictorial rendering of the stone building shows a small belfry in a spire which does not exist and a wooden framed entrance porch which is actually built of stone. The construction took some time as funds were short.
All Saints’ – circa approximately 1912. The inner doors of the entrance are finished in grained paintwork which is believed to be original. The double diagonal design of the planking of the inner and outer doors and the vestry door forms a pattern reminiscent of the exposed roof joists and the window arches. The outer doors were restored in 1998 and again in 2018/19.
The stained glass windows are relatively new and dedications and dates can be seen in them. When visiting the Chapel, please note the dove and Holy Spirit in the west wall.
With the growth of the congregation, a larger worship space was needed and the adjoining larger church was constructed in the period 1952 to 1954. The larger church and the parish hall are contiguous with two walls of the chapel so that the windows on the north and east are no longer on exterior walls.
In 1998 the parish of All Saints’, as part of its renewed vision as a “Christian Community in Action” committed significant resources to making the Chapel of the Holy Spirit available to the community at large as a place of renewal and spiritual nurture. A variety of programs, concerts and special liturgies are offered.

Give to us clear vision that we may know where to stand and what to stand for -- because unless we stand for something, we shall fall for anything.
