Honourary Assistant: Father Gordon Holroyd
After being called to serve in other parishes in the Deanery of Thunder Bay-North Shore over the past eight years, Fr. Gordon Holroyd has returned to St. Paul’s in late 2020, and we welcome him back with open arms.
Fr. Gordon was licensed as an Honorary Assistant to St. Paul’s in 2005 and that license has remained while he has been called to serve as an Interim Incumbent in other parishes.
In recognition that his license stands as the Honorary Assistant for St. Paul’s, and in anticipation of his return, his name has always remained on our church signs, as well as on the ‘Diocesan Cycle of Prayer’ listing for St. Paul’s.
We celebrate Fr. Gordon’s servant heart and his desire to serve the Lord wherever he is called.
