Upcoming Events
We are a small but active parish and enjoy a number of outreach activities that engage the broader community. We host a number of seasonal and traditional events and welcome new ideas. We look forward to seeing you.
Caring for others and serving those in need is central to our faith. Jesus calls us to love our neighbours as ourselves and shows us, through his own life, what it means to serve with humility and compassion. When we extend kindness, share our resources, and walk alongside those facing hardship, we live out the Gospel in a tangible way. This call to service is not just an act of charity, it is an expression of our faith and a reflection of God’s love at work in the world.

Please join Christ Church, Kettleby and St. Mary Magdalene, Schomberg in our guided tour of the Alderville Black Oak Savanna, an Indigenous-led ecological restoration organization. We will hear of traditional burning techniques, as passed on by the Community, and Western science-based prescription burning regimes which allows the preservation of fire-dependent plant species. The area is home to two rare and biologically important grasslands the Tallgrass Prairie and Black Oak Savanna. The research team also “monitors plant communities, burn management, succession, amphibians & reptiles, bats, grassland nesting birds, and various pollinators.”
