A huge thank you to all who supported the reception held this past Tuesday as family and friends gathered at the church for their final goodbyes to Nancy Patterson, a loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, fellow parishioner and friend to many.
Through the generosity of many who shared their time; made sandwiches, provided baked goods, fruit trays and /or provided monetary donations to purchase additional items we say thank you.
To those who came ahead of time on Monday to set up the space in readiness for the reception on Tuesday, and for those who came early on Tuesday to assemble trays of sandwiches and plates of home baking; staying to monitor the tables and attend to the clearing away and to Bill Muirhead who is our dishwasher extraordinaire. We thank you.
For Venerable Sheila, who even though she was on Vacation returned to officiate at the funeral…always caring for her flock…we thank you. For our Deacon, Sandra Thomson whose helpful presence and wonderful voice in reading the Gospel. We thank you.
To Lindsey Mills for always providing her support so willingly for the little issues that always seem to crop up at the last minute and for her beautiful voice and music ability We thank you.
Sincerely,
Jean Eaton and Marilyn Trinder, Co-convenors
To all our parishioners who helped to provide a very lovely reception on June 1st following the Celebration of Life service for the late Rev. Dorothy Hewlett. Dorothy’s family and friends found it an easy venue where they could share memories of times shared with Dorothy. They were delighted with the reception we were able to provide. Although Dorothy had worshipped with us at Transfiguration for a relatively short period of time she had endeared herself to all of us.
So many parishioners participated , providing their time and talent; making sandwiches; providing baked goods; offering monitory donations to purchase additional items. Thank you Joan for your telephone recruiting for food and help. Also to Chris and Jeanette who helped with table setup Fri evening after Messy Church and to the dedicated volunteers who arrived early Saturday morning to cut and plate sandwiches and sweets, monitor and refill food trays and stayed for the overall cleanup following the reception. We couldn’t have done it without you. Thank you to all.
With affection,
Marilyn and Jean

It is with sorrow that we share the news of the death of the Reverend Dorothy Hewlett on March 21, 2024. Ordained in 2000, Dorothy served as assistant curate at St. Simon’s in Oakville before being appointed as the rector of Christ Church, McNab and St. George’s, Homer. She also served as pastoral associate at St. John the Evangelist, Niagara Falls before retiring in 2022. In 2024, Dorothy was going to become an Honourary Assistant at the Church of the Transfiguration.
Please hold Dorothy’s family, friends, and colleagues in your prayers as they mourn. A service to celebrate her life will be held at: Church of the Transfiguration (320 Glenridge Avenue St. Catharines, ON L2T 3K7) on June 1 at 11:00am.
May she rest in peace and rise in glory!
