The St. James' Team
Our Rector is the Rev. Michael Stonhouse. A prairie boy, he has served parishes in Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Ontario. He is married (his wife is also a priest) and together they have three sons. Michael is involved in most areas of the parish life, but is in particular involved in the overall planning and coordination or parish activities. He generally can be contacted in the office Tuesday through Friday mornings.
Our Artistic Director is Angie Tysseland. Pianist, choir director, worship planner and composer are some of the roles she fills at St. James'. She has an active career outside the parish as a recording artist and performer. Although classically trained as a concert pianist, her special passions are gospel, jazz and world music. She also has a great interest in chant and other spiritually based musical forms.
