Hello, my name is Julia Ford.  I was ordained an Anglican Priest in May of 1991 in the Diocese of Toronto.  (Yes, I am “from away”)   After my two year curacy, I became what was called at that time a “Worker Priest”.  I had both a secular career in information technology and was a Honourary Assistant at a number of parishes.  Over time I also became an Associate Priest and in some parishes, Priest in Charge. I was married ten years ago.

 

Fast forward to 2020 and we decided it was time to think about retiring from our secular jobs.  We decided that we would like to get out of the Greater Toronto area and looked to Nova Scotia.  We purchased a home and moved in full-time in 2021.  We have been delighted with the reception we have received from the Parish and people of Annapolis Royal and area. 

 

I feel blessed that the Bishop has entrusted me to work as Priest in Charge in the Parish during this amazing time when we are looking, to use Bishop Sandra’s words, “to re-imagine what ministry might look like in the Parish of Annapolis.”    I look forward to working together with you on this mission.   Everyone’s ideas and views are critical.

 

My “church” email is Revjuliaf@gmail.com.   My Nova Scotia phone number is (902) 312-4028.

 

Blessings to all. 

 

Rev Julia
