Fr. Michael Horianopoulos grew up on the west coast of Canada in Kitimat, British Columbia, in a faith-filled family where Sunday Mass and meals together were a central part of life. With a Greek Orthodox background on his father’s side, he also has a deep appreciation for the richness of the Eastern Churches. He studied at the University of Northern British Columbia, earning degrees in Biology and Elementary Education, and taught Grade 2 before sensing a call from Jesus to the priesthood.
After a formative year at St. Therese School of Faith and Mission in Saskatchewan, Fr. Michael discerned a vocation with the Companions of the Cross and was ordained in May 2025. He now serves at Holy Trinity Parish in the Archdiocese of Halifax-Yarmouth and is passionate about helping others encounter Christ, with great hope for what God has in store ahead.

Becca O’Hara was raised in a Catholic family in northern Minnesota, and fell in love with Jesus more deeply in high school when her youth group dragged her along to a Steubenville Conference. She then attended Franciscan University of Steubenville, and got a MA in leadership and evangelization at the Augustine Institute in Denver, Colorado. Becca has worked for Formed.org, Many Parts Ministries, and several other Catholic apostolates, as well as spending 7 years supporting evangelization and discipleship at Christ the King Parish in Dartmouth, NS.
Becca is now a stay-at-home-mom, raising three little kids alongside her husband Chris here in Halifax, NS. She loves teaching others about Jesus, both through talks and writing, and spends her free time meandering through nature, coffee shops, and thrift stores in equal measure.
