The Anglican Parish of West Quebec covers a wide geographical area. We have churches in Danford Lake, Radford and Shawville. We have chapels in Thorne Centre, Charteris, Greermount, Kazabazua and Wright. We also own several cemeteries where we hold yearly memorial services.
For the past eight years, the Ven. Eric Morin has served our parish. Last year, under the guidance of Executive Archdeacon Linda Hill and the direction of then-Bishop Shane Parker, our parish entered into amalgamation discussions with Christ Church Aylmer, St. Mary Magdalene Chelsea and Good Shepherd-Wakefield.
In the fall of 2025, all six churches passed a motion and agreed to amalgamate as one parish.
Our new parish is now called the Parish of the Holy Spirit.
In December 2025, our diocesan administrator Bishop Michael Bird announced that Archdeacon Eric Morin was appointed incumbent of the parish of St. Thomas Stittsville, effective March 23, 2026. Archdeacon Eric’s last Sunday in our parish is March 15, 2026.
In January, it was announced that the Rev. Dr. Sony Jabouin has been appointed as associate incumbent of our newly amalgamated Parish effective Feb 23, 2026.
For the last two years, under the guidance of Archdeacon Eric, we have had three lay people in training to become Licensed Lay Readers. — Jean Macnab, Warden
