As of July 1st, 2023, Fr Graham will be leaving the Elgin Roman Catholic Family of Parishes to pursue further priestly discernment with the Companions of the Cross. The Companions of the Cross are a Catholic society of apostolic life of Diocesan Right for priests based in Ottawa, Ontario. He will enter into a year of postulancy with the Companions in Combermere, Ontario. This is a time of formation and prayer. It is a time to get to know the community and to discern this call within a call. Following the year at Assumption Farm, Combermere he will be assigned to a parish to live the community life with other priests. Please pray for Fr Graham as he moves into this 'next good step' in his priestly ministry giving God permission to do what he needs to do in his life. For more information, please see the video on YouTube
The new pastor assigned to ERCFP is Fr. Peter Keller. He is arriving from the position of Vice Rector of St. Peter's Seminary in London. Fr. Peter comes with a wealth of pastoral experience and is a good leader. Please welcome him as he takes on this new challenge in his life.
