Meet the Team

Fr. Liam McDonald

– I was baptized in Cure of Ars Church June 3rd 1983 and my soul was eternally reconfigured to carry the Identity of Jesus Christ.

– I received God’s Divine Presence in my soul (my 1st Holy Communion) at St. Mary’s Parish in Medford, NJ on 9 May 1992.

– I was equipped and sent on mission to heal a broken world (my Confirmation) 2 November 1997 at St. John Neumann Church Reston, VA  and have been on an Isaiah 61 mission ever since.

– I was ordained a priest 24 June 2017, the Nativity of Saint John the Baptist and have been growing in spiritual fatherhood for the past four years. As I shared last weekend in my preaching, I have taken the words of St. John the Baptist to be one of the guiding principles of my priesthood “He must increase, I must decrease” (cf. John 3:30)

College forward –

– I attended Norwich University and Alfred State College before receiving a degree in Architecture and Engineering Technology.

– I worked for 3 1/2 years after college as an estimator for a mechanical contractor and it was during this time I began discerning the priesthood.

– I discerned my vocation for two years at the minor seminary in Douglaston, NY before completing my spiritual, pastoral and academic formation at St. Joseph’s Seminary in Yonkers NY.

– Before I arrived here at St. Therese of Lisieux Parish I served as the chaplain to Holy Trinity Diocesan H.S. and as the Associate Pastor to Holy Family Parish.

Fr. Liam’s interests outside spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ include: good coffee, hiking, running and mountain biking. His favorite composer is Ludovico Einaudi, his favorite author is Michael O’Brien and his favorite artist is William Kurelek.

Viva Cristo Rey!!
