Pat Henderson joined St. Paul’s Cathedral in 1994. She holds a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Western Ontario and is a graduate of Fanshawe College and Huron College. While working full-time as Controller for Winmar, Pat completed both the compulsory and optional courses for the Vocational Diaconate through evening and weekend study at Huron and other institutions across southwestern Ontario. She retired from Winmar in 2017.
Pat was ordained to the Diaconate in June 2007 and serves with special responsibility for outreach, both at St. Paul’s Cathedral and on behalf of the Diocese of Huron. Her ministry includes pastoral care visits to out-of-town Anglican patients in city hospitals.
Rooted in service, Pat’s vocation is to proclaim by word and example the redemptive love of Christ, to bring the needs and hopes of the world to the Church, and to assist in public worship and the ministry of God’s Word and Sacraments.
At St. Paul’s, Pat coordinates Servers, Lay Administrants, Intercessors, and Tour Leaders. She is a member of the Alongsiders, serves as clergy representative for the Evening Women’s Group, organizes refugee and outreach initiatives, and provides home communions to parishioners as needed.
