Welcome Deacon Andrew

 

Join us in warmly welcoming Deacon Andrew Roch to our Canadian Martyrs faith community!

I was born into a large Catholic Family and have strong roots in the community, as I have spent my whole life in Hamilton.  I have worked in Hamilton all of my life, mainly at McMaster University.

I was ordained as a Permanent Deacon in 2008 after attending St. Augustine’s Seminary in Toronto. I have served as a Deacon in the downtown Hamilton core and my experience there taught me about the value of a strong Parish presence and how it strengthens the Community.  We are only as strong as our people’s faith. 

Outside of my Parish duties and work you may find me on my mountain bike on the beautiful Hamilton trails as I love nature.  I also enjoy reading, watching history programs and being a part-time armchair referee for all things football.
