STM Campus Minister Fr. André Lalach is a Counselor at the USask Student Wellness Centre
All students need to complete an initial intake assessment at Student Wellness, and during that process can request to be scheduled for a session with Fr. André, if they like. The best way to make that initial appointment is to call 306-966-5768.
