Martha Tatarnic.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>One wonders why the latest victim was chosen: it is, of course, all about how things appear in court, so perhaps <a href=\"http:\/\/www.niagara.anglican.ca\/newspaper\/article-print.cfm?article=Getting%20to%20know%20you%3A%20The%20Reverend%20Sue-Ann%20Ward\" target=\"_blank\">this<\/a> is the reason:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Sue-Ann&#8217;s first project has become the Jamesville Breakfast Club, nurturing children of three local schools. &#8220;The principal at St. Mary&#8217;s [Elementary School] made us aware of the need, and asked for support. Now we feed sixty plus children and a handful of adults every morning!&#8221; A large sign welcomes all, and the local crossing guard even comes early to enable the children to arrive safely.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>St. Hilda\u2019s ANiC feeds and evangelises over 100 school children every Friday. I am sure the diocese of Niagara will be quick to point to Sue-Ann\u2019s record in the ensuing court case &#8211; with the intent of claiming that she could assume our ministries.<\/p>\n<p>But St. Hilda&#8217;s has a congregation that helps run the ministries \u2013 a congregation that won\u2019t be there for Sue-Ann. Perhaps she will do a Martha and import a pseudo-congregation. Hubby is Rev. Jeff Ward, rector at St. Luke\u2019s, Palermo; I wonder if he and his wife will be doing the NPS (Niagara Parishioner Shuffle)?<\/p>\n<p>Welcome Sue-Ann, enjoy the orange carpet.<\/p>\n<p>P.S. Do the honourable thing and resign now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The diocese is running through priest-squatters for St. Hilda\u2019s at an embarrasing rate.
