Maundy Thursday
Maundy Thursday Services- April 17, 2025
Join us on Maundy Thursday as we gather to commemorate the first Eucharist - the Last Supper that Jesus had with his disciples before his betrayal and crucifixion.
We invite any who are present to come forward at the time of the foot washing to have their feet washed, remembering Jesus’ words,
If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet. For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you. Most assuredly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master; nor is he who is sent greater than he who sent him. If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them. (John 13:14-17)
This is a deeply moving opportunity in which the Rector washes the feet of those present reminding them that it is the example of Jesus who told us that just as he has served us, so should we serve each other.
Holy Communion begins at 7:00pm and is followed by the traditional vigil at the Altar of Repose until midnight - a time of quiet prayer for us to gather in Jesus’ presence, to meditate upon his love and passion, and to prepare ourselves for the coming days. All are welcome to attend any of the Vigil from the end of the service through to midnight.

Feed My Sheep
St. Mary’s Parish Hall hosts a free breakfast program every 1st and 3rd Saturday of the month with two rotating breakfast teams. To join one of the breakfast teams contact the office at the Parish Hall, Donald MacFadzen-Reid or Ruth Sudsbury.
If you are not able to volunteer but wish to contribute, the program is always accepting donations, contact Office admin, Donald or Ruth to make donation most meaningful.
Choir Practice
Our Sunday choir is a great opportunity to flex your singing skills or learn how to sing with a choir under the direction of an organist and choir director.
Our Director, Sandy Fraser, leads the parish choir each Sunday and runs a practice every Thursday, and our choir sings from a wide repertoire of traditional choral hymnody, anthems, and motets to more contemporary hymns.
All are welcome to join - you don’t need to be a member of the parish or even an Anglican to take part! If you are interested in getting more information please contact us in the office.
