Chaplain

Fr. Salva Rego

Fr. Salvador Rego (Fr. Salva) was born in Spain in 1976. In his late teens he moved to Canada to study Chemical Engineering at McGill University. For eleven years he worked in the private sector and as a university researcher in Ottawa and Toronto. Part of this experience allowed him to complete a doctorate in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Toronto. In 2014, he moved to Rome to finish his studies in theology and was ordained in 2017. His first appointment upon his return to Canada was as chaplain of Riverview Centre in Montreal. In 2020 he began serving as chaplain of Parkhill Residence.

Opus Dei

The parents and educators who make Parkhill a reality are inspired by the message of St. Josemaria, the founder of Opus Dei, an institution of the Catholic Church that helps people find God in their everyday life. Activities of Christian formation at Parkhill are entrusted to Opus Dei.
