Donald Ross (Minister Emeritus)
Donald was born in the heart of the Great Depression of the 1930′s, and was a child during the Second World War – both of which have had a profound effect on the values and outlook (and theology) of people of his generation. The bulk of Donald’s growing up life and education, including theological training, was in Winnipeg. After ordination in 1960, Donald was settled in what is now Thunder Bay, then Pinawa, Hamilton, Winnipeg (Crestview), and did interim work in Portage la Prairie and Augustine, from which he retired in 1996. Donald has four children, and between them, his partner Len and Donald have thirteen grandchildren.
Over the years Donald has done a bunch of presbytery and conference jobs, mostly in the areas of liturgy, human sexuality, and ministry and personnel concerns. But his main focus has always been congregational ministry, which has given him great satisfaction and sense of validity.
Stuart McVey (organist)
Our organist/choir director has been an integral part of church life here at Augustine since 1994. He works closely with our minister, and the Worship Team to prepare the music for Sunday services. The choir is a testament to his myriad skills and deep commitment to Augustine. His love for the organ has resulted in an amazing effort to restore it to its original glory.
Augustine would like to thank the Winnipeg Foundation, the Community Places Program of Manitoba and the Sir Thomas Cropo Foundation Inc. for their support toward the replacement of the stained glass windows at the front of our building.
