After seven years as our chaplain, on October 1st Bishop Crosby appointed Father Mark Morley as the Director of Vocations for the Diocese of Hamilton. When he was sent to the University of Guleph in 2015, he renovated the house at 325 Gordon Street and re-established it as the Newman Centre Guelph. We welcome Father Patrick Ohl, formerly Associated Pastor at St. Benedict Parish, Milton, as our new chaplain.
