“All good things have come unto me, since I no longer sought them for myself.” — St John of the Cross

I am delighted to say that today I accepted a role as Head of Religious Education and Chaplaincy Coordinator at St David’s Catholic College. I joined the college as a pastoral tutor four years ago this month, after a religious conversion prompted me to seek out a new career in the service of my local community. I am so grateful for my colleagues, for my students, and for the grace of faith which has brought me this far. I look forward to tomorrow with a renewed sense of excitement and purpose. Deo gratias.
