New arrivals at the chaplaincy

We are delighted to announce that the Oxford Board has approved the appointments of two new members of the chaplaincy team. Alexandra Harrod will be joining Fr John and Fr Roger in September as the new lay-chaplain, and Fr Simon Bishop SJ will be joining the team full time in January. He will take over from Fr John as senior chaplain when Fr. John goes on sabbatical from the end of Hilary until the beginning of Michaelmas 2010.

Alexandra studied Ancient History at St. Andrews before embarking on a year as a volunteer missionary working in school and community projects in the Philippines. In the last two years she has been working as assistant chaplain and acting chaplain at Ampleforth.

Fr Simon has studied Theology and Philosophy in Cambridge, London and Paris (Centre Sevres). He has worked as teacher and school chaplain in Wimbledon College, London and at St. Aloysius' College Glasgow. He is currently completing Tertianship, the final stage of his Jesuit training.

We are also very pleased that David Barrins OP, currently studying at Blackfriars, will be joining the team as a volunteer with effect from the beginning of October.

We look forward to welcoming all of them at the beginning of Michaelmas, 2009
