I am the current Spiritual Director at the Seminary of the Good Shepherd. This has helped me to accompany many of the young men preparing for Diocesan Priesthood in NSW. It has helped me to accompany them to notice how the Holy Spirit is active in their lives. This provides them with the opportunity to notice how they are being called to discover a God who calls them to a holistic formation that touches the human, spiritual, pastoral and intellectual dimensions of their lives. I see this as a pilgrimage of faith which walks alongside them on their journey.

Favourite scripture:  Micah 6.8 – Act justly, love tenderly, walk humbly with your God.

Favourite book: Lord of the Rings Trilogy by JRR Tolkein

Favourite movie: Out of Africa

Memorable moment: Meeting my grandniece Elsie shortly after her birth.

Email signature is “The intellectual quest is exquisite, like pearls and coral. But it is not the same as the spiritual quest. The spiritual quest is on another level altogether. Spiritual wine has a subtler taste. The intellect and the senses investigate cause and effect. The spiritual seeker surrenders to wonder.” (Rumi Wisdom; trans. Timothy Freke)
