Canadian Shield Regional Council Appointed Supervisor
to St. Andrew’s

Kathie Smith

Hello, my name is Kathie Smith. I am a member of St. Andrew’s UC in Sturgeon Falls where I serve as Chair of Council and on the Worship team. I also serve the Canadian Shield Regional Council as
Past Chair and Chair of Nominations. I am pleased to be serving your community of faith as the Pastoral Charge Supervisor (PCS). A Pastoral Charge Supervisor is appointed, by the Regional Council, when a pastoral charge is without paid accountable ministry personnel. It is the responsibility of the PCS to oversee the work and ministry of the pastoral charge and attend meetings of the governing body (Official Board, Session, Council, Trustees) to have quorum. Without this, no motions can be passed.


As well, the PCS supports the various teams with regards to Regional Council and United Church of Canada polity. The PCS together with the Spiritual Life team ensures that communion and baptism will be made available by providing names of persons who might be able to offer the Sacraments. Other responsibilities include reporting to the Regional Council annually, with regards to number of meetings, communions, baptisms, highlights of the community of faith and reporting any concerns, as to the state of the pastoral charge to both the Pastoral Relations and Support to the Community of Faith commissions. I look forward to working with your various governance bodies and meeting folks at the next congregational meeting.

Blessings on your ministry
