Whether you choose a traditional family service or a less conventional gathering to celebrate your new addition, I would be happy to help you make it "yours". Let's have it reflect your wishes and meaningful thoughts so it will hold fond memories for a very long time. My work at Hospice Simcoe in Barrie as Family Support Coordinator brings me to people at all stages of living and I have learned well that our life events need to reflect honour, gratitude, wonder and humour and they need to be made to measure. This is your child's special day. I would be happy to share in it.

John Dancavitch
Each new person enters the world full of curiosity. A community raises a child, a Baptism or Welcoming ceremony introduces the world to this wonderful new being. The child is given an additional name to further help define who they are. We ask another couple to accept responsibility in nurturing this child in a formal commitment. I have respect for all forms of faith. I am a tradesman, senior manager, educator and musician, having lived in Ontario, Alberta and Newfoundland. I would be delighted to assist you in making this special occasion all you have dreamed it would be.

Baptism Stories
Not being of a religious background, we were not sure how to welcome our son Liam into the spiritual world. Your ceremony and readings fit our family perfectly. The memories will live in our hearts forever. The naming ceremony helped to solidify the amazing extended family our son Liam has. We were very lucky to have found your service. Many thanks for making Liam's day so special.Iggy Greenwoos& Liam Scott
