FATHER DARRELL CRITCH

After studying music and music education at Memorial University of Newfoundland and theology at Nashotah House Theological Seminary, Father Darrell was ordained both deacon and priest. Later on, he received a Doctorate of Ministry, also from Nashotah House.

THE REV. MARILYN FLOWER
Honorary Assistant
A cradle Anglican, Marilyn leaned on God from a young age but did not answer a call to ministry until later in life. After raising her family and retiring from a teaching career, she was prompted to study theology and deepen her faith through Bible Studies. Upon graduating with a Master of Theological Studies degree in May 2007, she did further study, training, and discernment before ordination to the diaconate on Pentecost, May 23rd, 2010. Since then she has been involved in Bible study and research, prayer and Bible ministries with her church, other groups, and at Her Majesty's Penitentiary. On Trinity Sunday, June 15th, 2014 she was ordained a priest within the Anglican Network in Canada. Marilyn is awed by God’s tremendous love and counts it a joy and privilege to love and serve Him through Jesus.
