Reverend Katherine Bourbonniere

I am a Child of God, Mother, Wife, Daughter, Sister, and a Priest. Each of these vocations I have been called into and, on a constant basis, seek to find balance among them. I am thankful to God each and every day that I have been blessed with all of them.

At the Church of Saint Andrew I fulfill the position of Rector. I work here full time amongst an extremely supportive group of lay and ordained leaders. I have three degrees, a Bachelor of Human Ecology (major in Family studies), a Bachelor of Education, and a Masters in Divinity. I am an Alumni of Mount Saint Vincent University and the Atlantic School of Theology.

I grew up in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. I have two brothers and a sister. My husband of ten years has also grown up in Dartmouth. I have two beautiful children who are the light of my life!

My passion is Dance. I have a Liturgical Dance group here in the Parish (Miriam) and I continue to further enhance my Dance training through various venues in this city. I have attained Associate Dance Teacher Status in Stage and Ballet. I have danced and taught with Dartmouth Dance Academy, Maritime Conservatory and Antigonish Creative Dance.

I love children and believe in their ministry to us. I enjoy involving children in our Parish, but most of all I enjoy developing family. As family, not everything is perfect but we all know we are there for one another. Family is where your heart is, and I pray that our Church will continue to grow as a family and that each person who comes here can find a place to be their unique selves.
