Course Facilitator Details

Location: Oakville, Canada

I am Canadian born, with mostly Polish ancestry. I received an Honors B.A. from the University of St. Michael’s College at the University of Toronto, and an M.T.S. from St. Augustine’s Seminary. I began working in parish ministry in 2001 and continued in various liturgical capacities (primarily music) until 2019 when I became the Lay Pastoral Associate (LPA) at St. Christopher’s Parish in Mississauga, continuing as Music Director. As LPA, my focus was mainly on sacramental preparation (for both children and adults, including the RCIA adapted for children) and liturgical coordination. Parish work is a fountain of variety, and afforded me the opportunity to engage with people and families in a very direct and personal way. In the spring of 2022, I joined the Office of Formation for Discipleship as the Associate Director for RCIA and Liturgical Formation; now I have the great pleasure of being able to assist parishes, pastors and parish ministry leaders with resources, formation and networking.
