The
Parish of St. Paul’s, Rothesay, has an extensive and diverse outreach
ministry in an attempt to meet the needs of many people ==
here in our home community, in Canada’s north, and in many parts of the world. The Mission Beyond the Parish, a sub-committee of
St. Paul’s vestry, supports and co-ordinates many of the parish’s outreach projects. Other groups, such as the ACW (Anglican Church Women),
and many individuals are also involved in the outreach mimistry. In 2010, the Mission Beyond, as it is familiarly known, will continue to
provide financial support, goods and services, dissemination of information, and education for fourteen projects.
Each year the committee reviews its current projects and their corresponding action plans. It determines the degree of success and decides
what should be maintained, what should be changed, and what should be added or deleted. It establishes its priorities for the following year, bearing in mind that a crisis might arise which requires an immediate response. For example, the committee has responded quickly to the
tragedy of the earthquake in Haiti by encouraging parishioners to donate funds to the Primate’s World Relief and Development Fund.
During this planning and assessment process, the committee takes into consideration the following:
1. A balance among projects at local, national, and international levels
2. The efficacy of its current projects
3. Available resources – money, people, goods, services, information, communications
4. The outreach ministry of other groups and individuals
5. The direction set by the rector and vestry
The Mission Beyond finances these projects with money from:
1. Parish and committee fund raisers (e.g., spring yard sale, Strings and sweets, Multicultural Fair, Harvest Supper, etc.)
2. Individual donations
3. Money budgeted from the operating account and determined by the vestry
The projects for 2010 are:
1. Romero House soup kitchen and its winter van project
2. Inner City Youth Ministry Chicken Noodle Club
3. Kennebecasis Valley Food Basket
4. Kennebecasis Firefighters Christmas Relief
5. Hestia House
6. Camps Medley and Brookwood
7. Diocesan Choir School
8. Rector’s discretionary fund
9. Elizabeth Fry Society
10. Primate’s World Relief and Development Fund
11. Sigowet (a school for orphans in Kenya)
12. L’Arche
13. Hospice Saint John
14. Anglican ministry in the Canadian North
The current committee consists of twelve members, who meet the second Wednesday of each month, with the exception of July and August.
The committee welcomes any parishioner who has an interest in the parish outreach ministry.
As of January 2010, the committee members are:
