Today marks Muriel Clemmer’s last Sunday singing with us. What started as an occasional “helping out” in the choir, soon morphed into a regular and dedicated partnership with the choir of St. Andrew’s.
Muriel, for this we are eternally grateful. Thank you, so very much. It has truly been a great joy and delight; we will certainly miss you. May God’s blessings go with you.
We gather on the traditional territory of the Wendat, the Anishnaabeg and the Haudenosaunee Peoples. We are also on lands that are part of the Dish with One Spoon Wampum. We live and work, worship, learn and meet on lands that are the traditional territory of many different Indigenous Peoples who were here before the establishment of European colonies.
