Our Pastor and Staff

Father Frank McDevitt, Pastor

(416) 489-1540, ext. 231

Fr. Frank was raised on the farm his father was born on, in the Town of Caledon on the Gore Road. After high school, he trained as a development service worker and worked with people with special needs. His distracted youth found him backpacking in Europe for an extended period of time and working for a period as a lay missionary in Kingston, Jamaica.

Fr. Frank attended St. Thomas University in Fredericton and completed his undergraduate degree while working full time. He attended St. Augustine’s Seminary from 1980 to 1984 and was ordained in November of 1984.

He has served in several parishes in the diocese and assists the Cardinal as his delegate for misconduct.

He collects Canadian art and maintains a keen interest in the history of the church in Canada. Of particular interest is how the identity of the Catholic people has evolved over the years.

Angela Wong - Lay Pastoral Associate

Angela was born and raised in Toronto, Canada, and attended Our Lady of Perpetual Help school and De La Salle College. After Confirmation preparation, she didn’t see how faith was a major part of her life and kept it at a distance.

During her time studying Biology at Queen’s University in Kingston, she felt prompted to explore what the Catholic faith she had been exposed to as a child meant to her personally as an adult. After this time of searching, she experienced conversion and invited Jesus to be at the centre of her life. This decision shifted how she wanted to live her life after university, specifically in living out this decision.

After 7 years of working in campus ministry across Canada with Catholic Christian Outreach (CCO), she’s excited to bring her experiences and learn how they can support the needs of the parish. Angela started her ministry at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Parish in September 2024.

In her spare time, Angela enjoys being active out in nature, trying new things, or cheering on Toronto sports teams (a rollercoaster of emotions). Feel free to ask her more about her hobbies!
