Some of our parish of St. James team members.
Rector
Rev. Kristin MacKenzie (she/her)
Hello! I’m Rev. Kris, a lifelong Anglican with a heart full of faith and a passion for serving mycommunity. Originally hailing from Cape Breton, I have served on the Eastern Shore of NovaScotia, studied in Halifax and lived in downtown Toronto for a short time. My husband Mike & I have two children, Sammy & Duncan, who bring joy and inspiration to each day. Alongside them, our family is complete with the addition of two cats, Scout and Magnificat. During my spare time, you'll find me immersed in the pages of a good book, scouring thrift shops for hidden treasures, savoring the vibrant atmosphere of farmer's markets, or embarking on exciting travel adventures.
If you'd like to reach out or connect with me, please don't hesitate to send an email to RevKristin MacKenzie@gmail.com. I look forward to hearing from you and sharing in our journeys of faith and life together.
