Reverend Dr. John Stephenson:

Interim Priest-in-Charge.

Ordained in 2001, John came to the priesthood after a career in Christian higher education during which he taught theology and Biblical Hebrew to undergraduate and graduate students both in Canada and internationally in Russia, Ukraine, and Cuba. 

Pastoral ministry has made him apply his academic background to the realities of life in our world. 

 

Having served in an area with a growing number of homeless and marginally housed people, John learned to lead his parishes in caring for the immediate needs of the surrounding neighbourhood.
