Meet Francisco Castillo!

What a joy to spend some time with our Diocese of London seminarians. The Big Comfy Pew set up at the seminary in early December to talk with each of the men who are preparing for their eventual ordination, God willing. They are each at a different place in their journey but what they all have in common is the love for our Lord's one Catholic church. We encourage you to take the time to get a cup of your favourite hot beverage and warm up your body and your soul by listening to each of their stories, their hopes and even what keeps them up at night. We call this the Seminarian Series. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we did recording it.

The Big Comfy Pew welcomes Jacqueline Rowe, our new Coordinator of Youth Ministry. Jacqueline brings a wealth of experience and a compassionate heart to our parish, engaging in various ministries such as sacramental preparation, marriage preparation, family events, and organizing our participation in the Steubenville Youth Conference. Amid her many contributions, Jacqueline has bravely shared her personal journey of loss, having experienced the stillbirth of her son, Benedict Rowe, on July 5, 2024. Her courage and openness provide a source of strength and inspiration to our community, reminding us of the profound power of faith and support during difficult times. We are grateful to have Jacqueline's leadership and empathetic spirit guiding our youth and families in their spiritual journeys.
