The Rev. Maya-Mele Okazaki
Parish Administrator

 Maya-Mele maintains her dual citizenship having been born and raised on Solihull, England, and immigrating to Canada with her family. Her passion for organization led to over 25 years’ experience in executive administration in both the corporate and non-profit worlds.

Outside of work, Maya-Mele has over 30 years of International Missionary and outreach experience resulting in the co-founding of Together In Christ, India; Lead Missionary/speaker to Africa, and affectionately being awarded the title ‘Mother to Many Nations’.

Her love for writing, speaking and education continues to drive the search for new things to learn, and adds to the numerous certificates held in the fields of International humanities/humanistic studies from diverse universities.

In short, her passion and love for Christ, the Globe and life propels her daily to rise and set with more love and growth than the day before.

Since his (semi) retirement he has been serving as an interim priest for several parishes, and is now with us at Holy Trinity/ St. Paul's  for the second time.

The Rev. Elaine Wilcox
Deacon

Elaine has been a member of the Anglican Church her entire life and Holy Trinity for over 48 years. Retiring as a Registered Nurse in 1994, she volunteered her time with Holy Trinity Anglican Church focusing on Pastoral Care and visiting shut-ins. With increased concern regarding Pastoral care being recognized as a ministry, she felt a calling to Ordination as a Deacon in the church.

After over 3 years of study at Canterbury College, Windsor and a 6 month internship at her home church, she was Ordained to the Diaconate in June 2002 with Pastoral Care responsibilities. Her efforts are to be resourceful in any way she is able – such as new parishioners, groups within the community and she is open to concerns or new ideas.

Chris Peltier
Treasurer

Having run my own business for many years, I am well versed at book keeping and have often been asked to be the Treasurer for various organizations that I have been involved with.

In so doing I have learned to use several different accounting software programs and always find navigating through a new accounting program an interesting challenge.

Being Treasurer for Holy Trinity/St. Paul’s has been one of those challenges and I am thoroughly enjoying it. In my spare time I am learning the ins and outs of living on a farm and after having lived most of my life in Toronto, this too can present its own challenges. But again, I am enjoying it all and wouldn’t have it any other way.
