Welcome to St. John’s!

St. John’s has been blessed with a number of newcomers in recent months, and we’d like to take this opportunity to introduce a few folks you may have seen at coffee hour lately.

Alex Saucan, originally from Timisoara, Romania, moved to Montreal last year to pursue postdoctoral studies at McGill in electrical engineering. He’d not been to an Anglican church before, but St. John’s captured his attention last fall - he stopped in one Sunday and has been here ever since!

Zoë Stonyk, a freelance artist, who moved to Montreal last year from Ottawa, hasn’t hesitated to get her feet wet at St. John’s. She’s become involved in planning for the Jazz Mass – her design work can be seen in the promotional materials prepared for the event – and even better, Zoë has been preparing to be baptized in our parish this summer!

You may have seen this trio of youngsters - upping the collective fashion sense of our parish by about 500% - since around Easter. Brendan Jones (who shares a love for all things Jazz Age with Zoë) was a student of philosophy and history at the University of King’s College in Halifax. He hails originally from Corpus Christi, Texas.

Daniel McIsaac and Liam Bridson are two creative souls - a musician from New Glasgow, Nova Scotia, and a film student from Vancouver, respectively.

Welcome one and all!
