sarah donnelly
I was born and raised in southern Ontario, receiving my undergraduate degree from the University of Waterloo and my Masters of Divinity from St. Peter's Seminary (University of Western Ontario). From 1994 to 2001 I was the Director of the Family Resource Centre, Catholic Diocese of Calgary, offering retreats, workshops, hosting conferences and working in the areas of marriage preparation and enrichment, separated/divorced support and other healing and educational ministries. In order to work in ecumenical circles I also started my own business in 1999, primarily offering retreats and workshops. Following a serious car accident in 2001 my road to recovery led me to meet and subsequently marry Scott Pittendrigh, Rector of St. John's Anglican Church in Cobble Hill BC. I continue to offer workshops, retreats, spiritual direction, funerals and grief support groups to the ecumenical Christian community on Vancouver Island and throughout Canada. Scott, our golden retriever Dudley and I live in Cowichan Bay, BC.
