The Ven. Glen Miller

Contact through the Parish Office: info@epiphanysudbury.org

The Venerable Glen Miller is a retired Anglican priest who served as Archdeacon of Sudbury–Manitoulin and incumbent of the Parish of Copper Cliff and Lively for over 21 years. During his tenure he was deeply committed to pastoral ministry, congregational development, and community outreach across the Deanery of Sudbury–Manitoulin.

Throughout his ministry, Ven. Miller embodied a vision of faith grounded in Christian community and service.

Honorary Associate

The Reverend Rhonda Hirst

Contact through the Parish Office: info@epiphanysudbury.org

Rhonda grew up in Stoney Creek, just outside Hamilton, Ontario. She attended Brock University, where she graduated with a B.A. in Child Studies, and afterwards worked for the Catholic Children’s Aid Society as a Special Needs Worker. Rhonda eventually felt a call to combine her love of children with her love of God and entered Huron College in London, Ontario, in September of 1988, to pursue a Master of Divinity degree and to work towards ordination in the Diocese of Niagara.

In 1991 Rhonda was ordained a Deacon for the Diocese of Niagara, and in 1992 she was ordained to the Priesthood in the same diocese. In 2004 she felt a call to pursue a career in hospital chaplaincy — something she felt gifted for after completing a Clinical Pastoral Education unit at Kitchener–Waterloo Hospital as part of her training — and joined St. Joseph’s Health Centre, Sudbury, as a Hospital Chaplain. Today Rhonda continues as a Hospital Chaplain with Health Sciences North, and in June 2015 she was appointed Lead Chaplain for the Health Sciences North Spiritual and Religious Care Department.

In her spare time Rhonda loves to read, cook, bake and spend time with whatever furry friend is blessing her life at the time.
