Fr. Matt Yim, S.J.

This weekend we welcome Fr. Paul Cochran, S.J. who is succeeding Fr. Matt Yim, S.J. 

Fr. Paul joins us from St. Francis Xavier Parish in Missoula, Montana where he served as Associate Pastor as well as Jesuit Superior of the Ravalli Jesuit Community. Fr. Paul grew up on a wheat farm in Walla Walla, Washington and attended Gonzaga University where he first encountered the Jesuits. He joined the order in 1982. His first assignment was working among the Yup’ik people in Yukon–Kuskokwim Delta of Alaska. He has also worked in a high school, served as Superior of the former Jesuit Retirement Community in Spokane, WA and led the Loyola Jesuit Conference Center in Portland, OR. In all his assignments, Fr. Paul has been most interested in understanding and talking about matters of the heart among those under his care. Be sure to say hello!
