Lisa Bynoe-Stevens
I was born in Barbados, and after living and working in Toronto and York Region for most of my life, I now reside in city of Hamilton. Personally, I love the ministerial work I do. I am passionate about family and community. I am well-traveled, adore hiking, equal amounts of baking, cooking, eating and working out after all that baking, and a good cup of tea. If you are looking for a Naming ceremony officiant with a big smile, who loves to laugh, and is both genuine and enthusiastic, then I’d love to meet you and your new addition. I understand how important and special this day is for you and your family.
Marie Gaspari
I have lived in Mississauga for over 35 years, near the Square One area with my husband and our lovable yellow labrador. As an Ordained minister with Clergy Support Memorial Church, I believe a baptism should reflect you and your beliefs regardless of your denomination. I began my spiritual journey over 30 years ago which includes my passion in the study of Zen Buddhism. I enjoy reading books on personal development as well as volunteer my free time with a monk who teaches Qi Gong which all allow to continue in my spiritual growth. Along with my compassion and kindness, I look forward to guiding you in creating the ideal ceremony for your child.
