Well the move happened. I celebrated my last Masses in Our Lady of Lourdes on the first Sunday of Lent and then moved to take up my new appointment in the residential youth retreat centres of Westminster diocese. For the first time in my life I am living on my own. I have a house in the grounds of the pastoral centre just a couple of minutes walk from the youth centre (SPEC). I have been involved with SPEc on a part time basis for a year and now I am alongside them full time.
This is a real learning curve and a totally new way of ministry for me. I have been in chaplaincy before but in a totally different context and as part of a religious community. There is an 'aloneness' to what I am doing now, which is a completely new experience for me. Please pray for me in the coming weeks and months as I discover new ways of ministering to God's people.
