Rev. Jean-Daniel Ó Donncada

National pastor of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in Canada.

Pastor Jean-Daniel studied at Harvard, Yale, and Université de Montréal. His academic work has focused on how religious communities can best support children, leading to his writings being published in an anthology of essays, Child Honouring, edited by Raffi and with a foreword by the Dalai Lama, and to him being a workshop leader and featured speaker on children’s and youth ministry and pastoral care of neurodiverse children across North America. Most recently, he has been an ecumenical chaplain at McGill University and an interfaith hospital chaplain. He has served churches from California to Connecticut to Québec for the last 20 years. Jean-Daniel is particularly passionate about children’s and youth ministry, interfaith cooperation, and multilingual ministry.
