And let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good deeds, not neglecting to
meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more
as you see the Day approaching Hebrews 10:24-25 (NRSV)

The Rev'd Shirley Cole began her time with us on Dec.1-2019 the start of the new Church year and the first Sunday of Advent ! Rev'd Shirley comes from PEI ,where until two years ago , she had been employed as a Professional Social Worker in Health and Social Care
while also serving as Associate Priest through the Community of Associate Priests (CAPP)
since Ordination to the Diaconate (Transitional) and after Priesthood in 2007.
Responding to the call to Parish Ministry, Rev'd Shirley retired from her secular career and returned to studies part-time initially and then full time at the Atlantic School of Theology. She is delighted to be able to Serve as Interim Priest in Charge at St. James while completing the final courses of study this winter for the Degree she has been pursuing at AST.
Along with a passion and love for God and all God's people, Rev'd Shirley loves her family (biological daughters, step daughters and sons, sons and daughters in law grandchildren and Mum) and the times she is able to spend with them, whether by text, phone, face time, and especially in person!

The Rev'd Catherine Desloges and husband Brian, joined St. James in 1987. They raised their two children, Sylvia and Mark, at St. James, appreciating the warmth and the love of the community. Catherine became a lay reader in 1995 and then, answering God's call, was ordained in 2002. Her position is that of Associate Priest, which she has maintained from that date until the present. She is a member of CAPP, which is the Community of Associate Parish Priests. This is a volunteer position.
