What My Adoption Means

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

I first encountered Christ at a Life in the Spirit Seminar and I was filled with a fire to serve God in any way that I could. So I got involved in parish ministries, charismatic prayer groups and communities, praise and worship ministries, catholic campus ministries, young and young adults groups, retreats, etc. I couldn’t get enough of it! Eventually the Lord put in my heart a desire to discern a vocation to the priesthood. He has been confirming it more and more ever since. I had already been discerning for the archdiocese of Toronto when I met Fr. Allan MacDonald at Christ the King Rally in Toronto in 2015. He invited me to check out the Companions of the Cross. When I came to see them at a ‘come-and-see’ visit at Assumption Farm, I knew instantly that this is where the Lord is calling me. I haven’t looked back since.

I’m currently serving as associate pastor at Saint Benedict Parish in Halifax, NS.
