In Memoriam

Don Kerr

Donald Selwyn Kerr, 88, of Brampton, Ontario, passed away peacefully January 17, 2021, at his home surrounded by his wife and four children.

Don was born January 24, 1932 in Oxbow, Saskatchewan. He graduated from the University of Alberta and transitioned into the finance world where he worked for General Motors Acceptance Corporation and after 42 years of service retired in 1996.

He married Janice Mary Rooke on April 18th, 1959 and together raised their four children.

He spent most of his retirement days playing tennis, travelling, honing his incredible watercolor skills and enjoying the many sleepovers with his grandchildren.

Don is survived by his wife Jan, David and his wife Kim (Ryan, Alec) Debbie Porter and her husband Colin (Jordan, Courtney) Peter and his wife Marlene (Matthew, Mikayla, Matthew (Bud), Erin), Karen and her husband Greg (Natalie, Sydney, Cameron)

A private service will be held with interment of Cremated Remains and a Celebration of Life held at a later date. Funeral arrangements entrusted to the Ward Funeral Homes "Brampton" Chapel (52 Main Street S, Brampton). In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society or the Kidney Foundation of Canada.

Toby Montgomery

We are saddened to hear of the death of 12-year-old Toby Montgomery, son of Kevin and Emily Montgomery and brother to Adela and Sebastian.  Toby was the grandson of Bob and the late Debbie Montgomery, who were members of our congregation. Bob and Debbie both sang in the choir and Bob painted the picture of the Dove hanging at the back of our sanctuary. Our prayers are with Toby's family.

Please support the life and work of St. Bart’s

One of the consequences of not being able to worship together at our church building is that we do not have a weekly offering to keep donations flowing into St. Bart’s. We have a dozen families on PAR  (pre-authorized remittances), but this is not enough to allow us to continue to meet all of our regular monthly operating expenses. We are currently drawing on a liquidity reserve to meet expenses, however, the longer the present situation lasts, the greater the need becomes to receive donations through other channels. Some options for your consideration. Click on Givings
