The effectiveness of my ministry is directly impacted by the ongoing formation and leadership development I receive from my community. Adopting me or any other Companions’ priest ensures that we can be priests who are thriving and not simply surviving.
My Story
What was your background before you joined the CC?
I was a seminarian studying for the Archdiocese of Ottawa back in 1984. In January of that year I began to meet with Fr. Bob Bedard and two other young men in a ‘Share Group’ for mutual spiritual support. Out of this group sprang the Companions of the Cross in 1985.
What led you to join this community?
I feel very blessed to have been with the community from the very beginning. I have seen the amazing way the Lord brought everything together. The Companions of the Cross truly are a ‘work’ and ‘gift’ of the Holy Spirit. I feel privileged, thankful, and humbled by all that has happened since then.
What kind of ministry are you doing now?
I recently served as Pastor of Queen of Peace parish in Houston Texas. I have a doctoral degree in Theology from the Gregorian University in Rome, and am currently teaching at Sacred Heart Major Seminary in Detroit.
