Currently, Maija is honoured to be the coordinator of London Interfaith Peace Camp (LIPC) . Rooted in the three Abrahamic faiths: Judaism, Christianity and Islam, this is a week long day camp offered to students in grades 1 through 8. Campers counsellors  have an opportunity to learn  enduring  lessons about each of these faiths, visiting local places of worship and engaging in different crafts and activities.

Maija’s has facilitated numerous retreats and workshops for young people, with a strong focus on celebrating the gifts and talents of each person.

Presently, Maija is finishing a Masters of Divinity. This will assist her as she co-ordinates children and family opportunities at Christ the King Parish and prepares families for the initiation sacraments.

It is Maija's hope to constantly learn and build relationships with those around her, creating a place where people feel welcomed.
