Fr Roger Dawson SJ
Fr Roger Dawson SJ served as an officer with the Royal Greenjackets before studying Psychology at Durham University. After a career working as a psychologist with the National Health Service, he joined the Jesuits in 1997 and has since studied philosophy and Theology in London and Paris. He worked on his doctorate in Psychology while teaching at Wimbledon College and has also worked at the Cardinal Hume Centre in London during his final year of Theology. He is currently assistant editor of the Jesuit Spirituality Journal ‘The Way’ and chairs the managing committee for the Jesuit Volunteer Communities in Britain.
Fr John Moffatt SJ
John Moffatt SJ joined the Jesuits in 1982 after leaving university, where he studied Classics and Philosophy. He has spent most of his working Jesuit life as a teacher-chaplain at St. Ignatius College, Enfield and Wimbledon College, South London (two Jesuit comprehensive schools). There he taught mostly RE/Philosophy of Religion, Latin/Classics and some drama. He has worked on the teams organising the liturgical and retreat programme for the two schools and in his last posting at St. Ignatius has done some direction for school productions. In recent years he has helped out at the Parish of Our Lady and St. George, Enfield on Sundays. This has been interspersed with periods of study at London, Innsbruck and Oxford. He has done some work in adult formation and has written a book (Beyond the Catechism) to help those who have intellectual difficulties with their faith. Hobbies include walking up (and down) mountains and playing the viola (at home). Currently he is looking for a band dodgy enough to need his electric viola and iffy tenor sax.
The Chaplaincy Team
At the end of last term Sr Nora Coughlan SMG left the chaplaincy team after five and a half years of dedicated service. We wish her well in her new job in London, working for her order in formation.
