TRUMBULL—“Father Terrence Walsh is a man of great, generous and priestly heart,” said Bishop Frank J. Caggiano at the installation of Father Walsh as pastor of Christ the King Parish in Trumbull. “He is a man who fixes his eyes on the Word of God, a man who deeply loves the Lord.”
The people of Christ the King needed no encouragement to welcome their new pastor. Father Walsh came to the parish as parochial vicar on September 1, 2015.
A late vocation, Father Walsh had worked for a dozen years as a sales representative for a company that took him to Florida, the Carolinas, the Midwest and New York. While working in New York, he lived in Fairfield County and became a member of St. Mary Parish in Greenwich. Discerning a call to the priesthood that had always been on his heart, he entered St. John Fisher Seminary and was ordained by Bishop William E. Lori in 2004.
Father Walsh served at St. Luke Parish in Westport and St. John the Evangelist Parish in Stamford before coming to Christ the King. In a tribute to his kindhearted service, parishioners and priests from St. John’s traveled to Trumbull for his installation.
“I’m grateful to the bishop for giving me this opportunity to come and serve the parish of Christ the King,” said Father Walsh, gaining enthusiastic applause from parishioners.
