Catholic Church

Paul M. Cochran, S.J.
Roman Catholic Priest

Paul Cochran was born in Walla Walla, Washington in 1962, and grew up there also. He went to Walla Walla High School (Wa-Hi), and then to college at Gonzaga University in Spokane, Washington, where he studied philosophy and computer science. He graduated with a Master of Divinity from Regis College in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Paul has been working here since August, 1997 and plans to work here for maybe two or three more years. He likes his job because he gets to meet people from many different places, travel to new places, and to help in strengthening Catholics in their faith and daily lives. He was first interested in his job when he was going to Gonzaga University where there were priests who were his teachers. The kind of training he needed before he got his job was both college studies and mentoring by others. The kind of training he has needed and received since getting his job is mostly on-the-job training with other priest, sisters, and local people.

He feels his job keeps him stimulated because he says, "you can never predict people or their needs." The best things about his job are the new challenges and opportunities to meet people and go places. The worst thing is that he doesn't get a chance to settle down for a long period of time in one place.
