In April of 2025, St. James’ Anglican Church in the Parish of Carbonear celebrated the licensing of long-time Eucharistic Assistant Genevieve Babb, who became a licensed lay minister. Genevieve has been a Eucharistic Assistant for 20 years! Under the direction of the priest-in-charge, the Rev’d Maxine Drover, Genevieve serves as an active lay minister, rector’s warden and holds several other parish roles. Blessed we be!
