Mona-Lee Feehan, DMin

My father-in-law was Chair of Edmonton Catholic School Division (ECSD) for six years in the 1960’s, and my dad and brother taught for over 35 years in ECSD.  I taught for the Catholic system for two years immediately following my BEd.  I am a proud graduate of Archbishop O’Leary High School and a lifelong supporter of Edmonton Catholic Schools, my husband graduated from St. Francis Xavier, all four of our children are ECSD alumni, and now eight of our grandchildren attend schools within ECSD.

Education 

I have Bachelor and Master of Education degrees from the University of Alberta, and a Master of Theology and Doctorate of Ministry from St. Stephen's College.  I am trained in Gottman Family & Couples’ therapy and Spiritual Direction through the Providence Renewal Centre.

Teaching
I taught for ECSD, at Newman Theological College, St. Stephen’s College, and St. Joseph’s College at the University of Alberta. I am currently a sessional Instructor at St. Joseph's College where I teach Human Sexuality, Relationship, Love and Marriage in the Catholic Tradition.

Pastoral Counselling and Authorship
For the last decade, I was a Campus minister at St. Joseph's College. I am currently a Chaplain with the Interfaith Chaplains Association at the University of Alberta. 

My husband and I have been involved in Marriage Encounter and for the last four decades, have been facilitating Marriage Preparation courses for engaged couples seeking marriage in the Catholic Church.

I have authored books in a variety of areas including family history and Catholic relationships.  Through Novalis, I published several marriage preparation programs, one of which received imprimatur from Cardinal Collins. Another book was awarded recognition by the Catholic Press Association, formerly the  United States and Canada Catholic Press Association.
