Job Opportunity (Rector CMP)

/

Dear Candidate,

We are the Church of St. Mark & St. Peter, known to most of us as simply CMP. We are an Anglican congregation in the heart of Saint-Laurent, one of Montreal’s most culturally vibrant and rapidly changing boroughs. For more than two decades our congregation has flourished under the leadership of Reverend Dr. Chris Barrigar. With Rev. Barrigar’s recent retirement, we are praying for a new rector who can love this parish and help us discern our next faithful steps forward.

Visitors to CMP on an ordinary Sunday will likely hear children before they find the nursery, see a member reading scripture in a language other than English or French, watch organ and drums share the same worship space, and be greeted by people who are genuinely curious about and welcoming to newcomers.

The room is rarely silent. People linger while sharing the Peace and again over refreshments after the Service. For many, these connections are an immediate sign of welcome and belonging.

We are deeply grateful to God for the way CMP has flourished in the past few years and for the wise and godly leadership of Rev. Barrigar. We also recognize that, as with all church communities, challenges remain. Each of us needs God’s help daily in discerning how to put our faith into practice in our lives, our families, our neighbourhood and our world.

We invite you to discover more about CMP, our ministries and mission in the attached Parish Profile and to experience the flavour of our community by joining us for worship in person or online. We hope you will be drawn in by the warmth and vibrancy of this diverse community of seekers, be excited by our strengths and motivated to help us find ways forward for our challenges. We also ask you to join with us in praying that the Holy Spirit will continue to deepen our love for God and for each other and continue to grow us into faithful and mature disciples of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Emancipation Sunday July 26th

/

photo by janet best

Emancipation Sunday is celebrated on the last Sunday in July in the Anglican Church of Canada (July 26 in 2026), as formally designated by the General Synod in June 2025. Emancipation Sunday commemorates the coming into effect of the Slavery Abolition Act on August 1, 1834—Emancipation Day—freeing approximately 800,000 enslaved people in British colonies, including Canada.

For more than 180 years, Black communities across Canada have celebrated Emancipation Day with church services, parades, outdoor festivities, protests, speeches, entertainment and more, taking the opportunity for reflection on the struggle for freedom and justice, past and present. By designating an Emancipation Sunday, the General Synod invites Anglicans in Canada to join in that celebration and to support initiatives that address anti-Black racism within our ecclesial structures and in society at large.

Director of Community-Based Formation

Montreal Dio is hiring for a new position: Director of Community-Based Formation. Funding exists for this to be up to a full-time position for a period of five years.

 This is not a conventional continuing education role. We are looking for someone who understands that the church is in a moment of significant transition, who is energized rather than daunted by that reality, and who has the imagination and experience to help communities discover what faithful, collaborative Christian ministry and witness can look like in their context.
