Rev. Katherine Burgess came as Minister to St. Andrew's Church, Quebec City, in September, 2009. This is her second career. She has taught for 30 years- 15 of these teaching Music and French in a primary school, and 15 years teaching Literature and Writing in a high school. She came here from Wabush, Labrador, via Montreal, where she has spent three years as a student. Immediately after she retired from the school system, she became a student again, to prepare for ordained ministry. She has studied at Memorial University in Newfoundland and Labrador (BA, BAEd, MEd, LibCert), the University of Calgary (DipFa), McGill University (Bth), and Presbyterian College (MDiv).

She is married to Keith, and they have 4 adult children, and 7 grandchildren. Their dog Wooly is enjoying Quebec City. They are thrilled to be in Quebec, and hope to stay for a long time. She is looking forward to growing with the congregation.
