Theresa was born in Sarnia, Ontario and grew up in Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta.  After completing a Bachelor of Commerce degree at UBC in Vancouver, she returned to Alberta and has lived in Calgary for the past 19 years.  

Despite being a cradle Catholic, she only joined St. Paul’s Airdrie CWL in 2014.  Shortly thereafter she joined the Executive as the Chairperson of Resolutions & Legislation.  After the council was discerning about leadership, she took the role of President for two terms; from 2017-2021.  In 2022 she joined the Diocesan Executive in the role of Spiritual Development Chair. 

She has always enjoyed scriptural study and attending and organizing spiritual retreats.  To further advance her knowledge and progress her faith journey, she enrolled at Newman’s Theological College.  She is very proud to have achieved a Certificate of Theology in Sacred Scripture in December of 2021.  With this education and knowledge, she has led a Bible Study at St. Paul’s Parish for many years.  And one of her most beloved activities of being the Spiritual Development Chair was organizing the Advent and Lenten retreats. 

She is very much looking forward to her new role as Diocesan Vice President and being of assistance to parish council in their organizational and leadership opportunities.
