Our Clergy Team

As Dean, Kevin provides spiritual and organizational leadership for the cathedral’s worship, music, outreach, and civic life, helping St. Paul’s serve both its congregation and the wider community.

He is deeply committed to rich, thoughtful liturgy rooted in the Anglican tradition, shaped by strong preaching, sacramental theology, and the highest-quality music. He works collaboratively with clergy, staff, musicians, volunteers, and community partners to ensure that worship at St. Paul’s is both reverent and welcoming — attentive to tradition while responsive to contemporary life.

Beyond the cathedral, Kevin is a passionate advocate for social justice, the dignity of every person, and care for those on the margins, with a strong commitment to ecumenism and interfaith dialogue.

Kevin holds degrees from Memorial University of Newfoundland, Huron University College, and McCormick Theological Seminary, and has served in parish and leadership roles across Ontario before becoming Dean of St. Paul’s Cathedral.

Known for his pastoral warmth and thoughtful leadership, he seeks to lead with faith, imagination, and generosity.

The Venerable Sam Thomas is well known to the St. Paul’s community, having served as Interim Priest in the period before the arrival of our Dean. Recently retired as Archdeacon of Huron West and after twenty years as Rector of St. Michael and All Angels Church, Sam brings nearly four decades of ordained ministry to his role. As Priest Associate and Director of Pastoral Care at St. Paul’s Cathedral, Sam supports the Rector in all aspects of parish life, with particular focus on pastoral care. His ministry includes liturgical leadership, preaching, formation, and the development of compassionate, responsive care for parishioners and the wider community. Sam is deeply committed to healing ministries, care for the bereaved, outreach to long-term care residents and unhoused neighbours, and to fostering a cathedral community grounded in dignity, justice, and inclusion.
