Our Pastor, Father William (Bill)
Marrevee,
hails originally from the Netherlands
where he was
born in 1936 (hence his
accent). In
1956, he became
a member of the religious community, the
Priests of the Sacred Heart of Jesus
(S.C.J.).
He came to
Canada in 1960 and made the S.C.J.
community in Ottawa his
home.
In 1963, he was
ordained a priest and after some more
theological studies, he
joined the teaching staff of the Faculty
of Theology at St. Paul
University in Ottawa in 1966.
After that, he
taught mostly in the field of liturgy
and the theology of the sacraments
until, in 1991, he
became the Pastor of
St. Mark's parish in Aylmer,
Quebec where he
ministered for 10 years.
In 2001, Fr. Bill
moved to the eastern part of the
Gatineau Diocese and settled in
Buckingham, Quebec from where
he served as
Pastor to the Anglophone parishes of
Our Lady of Victory, St.
Malachy, St. Aloysius and St. Columban.
In September 2007, Fr. Bill returned to
Aylmer to be Pastor again of St. Mark's
Parish.
