The Nipissing-Parry Sound Catholic District School Board (NPSC) has a new Board Chaplain.
Father Joseph de Viveiros is joining NPSC from the Waterloo Catholic District School Board, as its Spiritual Animator.
Father de Viverios is also a graduate of Scollard Hall and was raised in North Bay, and that history played a part in his returning home.
He was ordained in 1992 to the Congregation of the Resurrection religious community and has spent the majority of his career in southern Ontario, specifically Waterloo.
Father Joseph has attained three separate Master’s Degrees, specializing in Divinity, Religious Education, and Liturgy. Father Joseph brings a range of experiences to this role, such as serving as a secondary school Mathematics teacher, as a consultant in the Office of Religious Education for the Archdiocese of Toronto, and as a session lecturer at Regis College with the University of Toronto.
He also serves as Vicar Provincial for the Canadian Province of the Congregation of the Resurrection, has experience as Director of Liturgy for the 2002 World Youth Day, and as Pastor in parishes in the Waterloo region.
“As a Catholic faith community, NPSC is excited to walk alongside Father Joseph to provide a Ministry of presence to our Board of Trustees and staff, and to continue to renew the great promise and gift of Catholic Education in the service of our students and entire Board community we serve.” added Paula Mann, NPSC Director of Education.
Father Joseph will begin his Chaplain duties with the NPSC later this month.
