Josh Canning
I am the founder of Canadian Catholic. A campus minister by trade, I served for 7 years at two of the largest campuses in Canada- York University, and the University of Toronto.
My experience in campus ministry confirmed my passion to work in evangelization and help more people come into an encounter and realization of Jesus' awesome, saving love. This passion led me to serve as Canada's Catholic Church coordinator for the Alpha program for 5 years, and cofound U Evangelize, a free online membership for Catholics who want to evangelize with greater confidence and effectiveness.
Husband to beautiful Lisa, and father to 8 amazing children.

Benjamin is originally from Salmon Arm, British Columbia. This small mountain town is where he found Jesus and converted to Catholicism at age 17. After finding Jesus all he wanted to do was proclaim him. He has been a full time missionary for 7 years spreading the faith from his own parish, all the way to Uganda, United Kingdom, Bosnia, Brazil and the United States. For the past 6 years he has worked with Catholic Christian Outreach. Most recently he has taken the role of Team Leader of CCO at Ryerson University, where he works with the Ryerson Catholic Campus Ministry.
