Rev. Cathy Dilts

The Reverend Cathy Dilts began her ministry at St. Paul’s United Church on July 1, 2008. Cathy is grateful to God, and to the people of St. Paul’s, for the opportunity to share in the vibrant ministry of faith that is already so much a part of this congregation. Cathy is looking forward to the new opportunities and challenges that God will set before us as together we seek to grow in faith and respond to God’s love revealed in Jesus Christ.

Cathy grew up in Burlington. She is a graduate of the University of Waterloo’s Faculty of Mathematics and attended Teacher’s College at the University of Western Ontario. Following graduation she enjoyed a rewarding career as a high school teacher with the York Region District School Board.

In 1999 Cathy responded to God’s call to ministry and further study by enrolling in the Master of Divinity program at Emmanuel College, University of Toronto. Cathy completed her internship at Walton Memorial United Church in Oakville in 2004 and it was there she discovered her passion for congregational growth and development. In 2005 Cathy completed her M. Div. and was settled at Islington United Church where she served as Minister of Congregational Development for three years.

 Cathy brings to ministry an evangelical spirit and an enthusiasm for worship, outreach and community building. Cathy currently resides with her family (Dave, Sarah, and Christopher) in Richmond Hill and in her spare time enjoys reading, going to theater, taking long walks, playing the flute, working with stained glass, and supporting her spouse and children in their various endeavours.
