RETIREMENT
Bishop Townshend has accepted the request of the Venerable Megan Collings-Moore to retire from her role as the Archdeacon of the North, effective 31 May 2025.
Archdeacon Megan served as the Archdeacon of Waterloo from 2018 and the Archdeacon of the Saugeens from 2021 until she became the Archdeacon of the North with the new configuration of archdeaconries in May 2022. Megan was ordained deacon (1998) and priest (1999) for Huron by her father, Bishop Tom Collings, and began her ministry at All Saints, Woodstock. She oversaw the creation of the Church of the Epiphany, Woodstock, from All Saints and New St. Paul’s, before becoming the Chaplain of Renison College and the Incumbent of St. Bede’s Chapel in 2006. In May 2007, Megan was made a Canon of the Cathedral Church of St. Paul.
Archdeacon Megan’s service to the Diocese of Huron and the wider Church has been exemplary. Over the course of her ministry, she has been a member of Diocesan Council and Sub-Council, the Postulancy Board, the Bishop’s Clergy Conference Committee, and the Nominating Committee. She is currently serving as the Chair of the Worship Planning Committee for General Synod 2025.
We are grateful for Archdeacon Megan’s many years of ministry and wish her well in retirement.
