Theo first came to Canada with his family from Rotterdam in the Netherlands, as part of the postwar wave of immigration from Europe.
The family settled initially in northern Manitoba and then moved to Calgary.
In Calgary he was introduced to the Anglican Church by a high school friend. Having been brought up in the Reformed tradition, he liked what he saw and heard, and soon began singing in the choir of the Cathedral Church of the Redeemer.
He moved to Toronto to attend the Faculty of Divinity of Trinity College, was ordained in 1975, and became a curate at St James’ Cathedral.
As Fr. Ipema explains, “While I was at the cathedral, there was a phone call from the church on Huron Street, from someone looking for a priest to take the place of another who had suddenly become unavailable for a weekday Mass.”
Young Fr. Ipema moved to St. Thomas’s, where he celebrated Mass for the first time in the Lady Chapel, or as he fondly calls it, “Our Lady’s Closet.”
