      Kenneth MacAulay was born in Souris, Prince Edward Island, on April 3, 1926 to Marguerite and Frank MacAulay. He was one of eleven children. He spent his early years in his home province until 1947, when joined the Scarboro Missions novitiate in St. Mary’s, Ontario.

In 1958, he was made pastor of this large parish until 1963, when he was recalled to Canada to do specialized studies in finance and accounting. The following year he was appointed bursar as well as spiritual director of St. Francis Xavier Seminary, and then Treasurer General of Scarboro Missions.

      Fr. Ken returned to Guyana from 1974 to 1977, this time working in Berbice. After returning to Canada, he was elected Superior General of the Society in 1978 and served in that capacity until 1987. Afterwards, he went back to pastoral ministry in Guyana from 1988 until 1994, when he was appointed director of the Mission Information Department at Scarboro headquarters in Canada. Fr.
