Anglican Church Women (ACW)
In April 1885, Roberta Tilton headed a seven-woman delegation that proposed the founding of the Women’s Auxiliary for the Missionary Society of the Church of England in Canada. Their efforts were welcomed with enthusiasm and the first Women’s Auxiliary was established. Today, the Women’s Auxiliary is known as the Anglican Church Women (ACW) group. All Anglican women are considered members even if they are not actively involved in ACW meetings or functions.
St. Luke’s Cathedral’s ACW group has served our community for several generations. The women of St. Luke’s ACW raise funds year-round for various programs and charities that make positive impacts on our community. Through leadership and hard work the women of St. Luke’s ACW coordinate their talents to host successful charity events. These events include bake sales, rummage sales, as well as the annual Cookie Walk, Winterfest, and Loonie Lunch.
Altar Guild
The Junior Girls’ & Boys’ Auxiliary is made up of youth ages 5 to 17, and team leaders from Anglican churches, other denominations, and the Sault community. The program runs from October to April and features drama, music, scripture, crafts, games, fundraisers and parties.
The program is lead by ten core leaders who offer their many skills as teachers and coaches. The goal of the program is to give young people a sense of self-worth and encourage them to try new things. The program is based on these five aims: to pray; to learn; to work; to give, and to tell.
The program offers a diverse range of activities and events for its members. One of the highlights of the program is the annual Christmas play. Members can choose to be actors or help behind the scenes. Other events include fundraisers for charities the youth members choose to support.
