Our Deepest Condolences

It is with great sadness that we share the news of John Michael “Mike” Harvey’s passing on Wednesday, March 4th, 2026, here in Brampton, after a long struggle with Alzheimer’s disease. Mike was a long-time member of our St. Andrew’s Family, along with his wife Mary (Molly) Harvey, and he touched the lives of so many of us. Our prayers are with Mary (Molly), their son Andrew and daughter-in-law Amanda, and grandchildren Sam and Ian of Norway, as well as the other members of Mike’s extended family, as they navigate this fresh grief together. 
 
A celebration of life for Mike Harvey will take place, at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, this coming Friday, March 13th, at 1:00pm.  To view the public obituary, click here.
 
All are welcome to attend.
 
Any in-memoriam donations are being requested by the family to go either to the Alzheimer’s Society of Peel, or to St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, Brampton, at the giver’s discretion.

Easter Letter is available!!

Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tested by the devil.  He fasted forty days and forty nights, and afterward he was famished. – Matthew 4:1-2

A scribe then approached and said “Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.”  And Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head”. – Matthew 8:19-20
