Anglican Church of the Good Samaritan

Father Dave Doherty

Father Dave came to St. John’s in October 2024 to lead the parish in the absence of Bishop Darrell. He holds degrees from Emmanuel Bible College (Kitchener, Ontario) and McMaster Divinity College (Hamilton, Ontario). He was ordained into a pastoral position at St. Hilda’s (Oakville, Ontario), where he served until he took up a position as Interim Priest-in-Charge of St. Barnabas Anglican Mission (Wilsonville, Ontario).

Dave also worked as a copyeditor and proofreader of Christian academic books and taught research and writing as an Adjunct Professor at Emmanuel Bible College. An avid student of Christian history, he loves using the riches of the past to build up today’s church. His other interests include music, literature, and Canadian history. Dave lives in the St. John’s area with his wife and children, with whom he is happily exploring the Avalon Peninsula and beyond.
