'The European people have fought one another for centuries. That is nothing to do with you. You are a Canadian.' Chat with Father Dan Donovan

Today, I’ll be speaking with Father Dan Donovan. Dan is a priest of the Archdiocese of Toronto and taught at the Faculty of Theology at the University of St. Michael’s College in the University of Toronto until his retirement in 2002. Since then, he has taught part time in the Christianity and Culture program at St. Michael’s. Some of you may know Father Dan from the Daily TV Mass where he performs ceremonies in front of online audiences numbering in the hundreds of thousands. 

Dan is second generation Irish in Toronto and in this chat, we discuss what it was like to grow up in Toronto as the son of an Irish police officer as well as Dan’s insight into the separation of the Catholic Church in Canada from the movement for Irish nationalism.
