Our Ministry Team and Staff

The Rev. Canon Stephen Vail

Incumbent | Email

Stephen was born and raised in Nova Scotia and lived there until 2001, when he moved to the Diocese of Toronto. He didn’t come from a “churchy” family, but started attending services in his home parish in Grade 10. From that grew an understanding of God’s love for him and a realization that the way to respond to that love was to be ordained. (So much for his plan to become a dentist!) Stephen studied Theology at Wycliffe College, Toronto, and was ordained in the Diocese of Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island in 1991. Since then, he has served in an urban parish, a three-point rural parish, a suburban parish, and a small-town parish. Stephen has two children in their teens; they are wonderful kids and a source of great joy and pride. In his spare time Stephen enjoys reading, walking, time with his children and friends, and learning new things.

Stephen is an honorary Canon of the Cathedral of St. James (Toronto) and chair of the Diocesan Postulancy Committee. He also serves as Archdeacon of the episcopal area of Trent-Durham.

The Rev. Molly Finlay

Assistant Curate | Email

Molly joined our clergy staff as Assistant Curate on May 8, 2017 and will be working alongside us for a two-year period. A former television journalist and communications professional, Molly felt a call to ordained ministry several years ago. She is a 2017 graduate of Wycliffe College and an associate of the Sisterhood of Saint John the Divine. Molly also has a heart for social justice and has volunteered at All Saints’ Sherbourne, serving street-involved women. Molly grew up in the Anglican Church and is excited at the way in which the church is changing and becoming freshly missional and energized to reach out to those on the margins. In Molly’s words, “I am just thrilled about joining the All Saints Whitby ministry team and serving with God’s people as your curate!”
