Meet Our Pastor

Sacred Heart Parish is blessed to have Fr. Francis Galvan, OSA as our Augustinian pastor. We are grateful for his sincere faith, charity, sense of humour and leadership.

Father Francis grew up in a remote village in the Phillipines, and entered the Seminary at 19 years old. In 1990 he came to Canada to complete a Masters of Divinity degree then was ordained to the priesthood in 1996. Father Francis has since served as a pastor at St. Brigid's parish in Toronto, completed a Masters in Canon Law from St. Paul University in Ottawa and a Doctorate in Canon Law in Rome. He has held a number of Augustinian and Archdiocese appointments and most recently became a pastor at Sacred Heart in 2014. Learn a little more about him here.
