Leah Perrault

Leah Perrault is the Director of Mission at St. Paul's Hospital, as of September of 2018. She served as 
Executive Lead of Corporate Initiatives with Emmanuel Care (the Catholic Health Ministry of Saskatchewan) from 2015 to 2018. Between 2007 and 2015, Leah served as the Director of Pastoral Services for the Roman Catholic Diocese of Saskatoon. When she's not busy with her day job, she speaks, consults, and writes on the side. Her words find a home at retreats, schools, conferences, book clubs, board meetings, church groups, articles, books, and ~ hopefully ~ in the hearts of those who hear and read them. 

Leah has a master of arts in pastoral theology from the University of St. Michael's College at the Toronto School of Theology (2009). Her bachelor's or arts in English comes from Campion College at the University of Regina (2005), where she perfected the art of writing in the early mornings before sunrise, while her room mates were still sleeping.
