Rev. Dr. Prakash Juststella Wilfred , St. David's Anglican Church, Welland
It is with great pleasure that we welcome Rev. Dr. Prakash Juststella Wilfred to join us at this week's Sunday Service.
The Rev. Dr. Prakash Juststella Wilfred is an ordained priest with over 25 years of pastoral, academic, and mission experience within the Church of South India and the Anglican Church of Canada. He currently serves as a Part-Time Priest Associate at St. David’s Anglican Church in the Anglican Diocese of Niagara, where he offers preaching, sacramental ministry, and spiritual care in both parish and community settings.
He was born and formed in India within a richly diverse religious and cultural context, which has shaped his deep commitment to intercultural and interfaith engagement. His ministry is rooted in a theology of presence—walking alongside individuals and families with compassion, dignity, and respect, especially during times of illness, grief, and transition.
Over the years, he has served in a variety of roles including parish ministry, chaplaincy, teaching, and institutional leadership. He has been involved in outreach among youth, migrants, and marginalized communities, and he continues to provide pastoral care for seniors and residents in retirement and long-term care homes. His approach to ministry is person-centered, respectful of all backgrounds, and grounded in the values of inclusion, justice, and holistic care.
In addition to his pastoral ministry, he holds a Ph.D. in Botany and a Master of Theology in Missiology. His work reflects an ongoing interest in the relationship between faith, science, and ecological responsibility, and he has contributed through research, teaching, and publications in these areas.
He also is engaged in ecumenical and global mission initiatives, including participation in the Anglican Communion Environmental Network, with a continuing commitment to inclusion, accessibility, and care for creation within the life of the Church.
He lives in Welland, Ontario, with his family. His wife Dr. Shaebha is an International Medical Graduate currently pursuing a Master of Management, and they are blessed with three daughters—Dew, Bew, and Rew—who bring great joy to their lives.
He considers it a privilege to serve God’s people and to walk alongside communities in faith, hope, and love.
It is with great pleasure that we welcome Rev. Dr. Prakash Juststella Wilfred to join us at this week’s Sunday Service.
Thank you so much Rev. Dr. Prakash Wilfred!
