Peter Thompson
Peter Thompson was born in London, England, and at an early age desired to serve as a missionary in Africa. He tested his vocation with the Holy Ghost Father’s (Spiritans). The ordained priesthood, however, was not to be his calling. Peter, his wife Madeleine, and their three small children emigrated to Canada in 1967. In 1974, through the Catholic Charismatic Renewal, Peter and Madeleine experienced a profound renewal in faith. When St. John Paul II called for a decade of evangelization in 1990, they responded by serving with Sion Catholic Community for Evangelization in England, giving parish missions with extensive door-to-door evangelization. This gave Peter a great love for apologetics. Peter then served with the Vatican office of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal (ICCRS) for eight years. He began serving with Renewal Ministries in 1998, primarily in Africa. He retired as a Country Coordinator in 2019 but continues to serve Renewal Ministries and the Church in many ways. Peter’s great love for Christ’s Church is expressed in his teaching both in defending the faith and in opening the hearts of Catholics to the riches of our Catholic faith, founded by Christ.
