I have had the privilege of offering pastoral care among those living with homelessness and providing life-giving ministry as a Prison Chaplain. Learn more…

Opening to Your Creative Soul
Many decades ago, I used to fantasise about entering the Blake Prize for Religious Art. I never saw myself as an accomplished artist, yet I knew that art, in various forms, are a way that I open my soul to the Divine. While my fantasies have diminished, my exploration of creativity and spirituality has intensified. I am now inviting others to open to their creative soul through a non-residential retreat in January at Our Lady of Dolour’s Parish Chatswood.
A Personal Journal that Builds Bridges Not Walls
Back in 2012, I facilitated at workshop for The Grail in response to the 2011-2012 Social Justice Statement “Building Bridges Not Wall: Prisons and the Justice System.” At the time I was a Prison Chaplain at a Remand Centre for 1000 men entering custody. The women from the Grail asked how they could support inmates, the work of the Chaplains and be builders of bridges not walls. And so, inspired by the Prison Journal Project of Sr Joan Chittister in the USA, the Prison Journal Project was born. To date we have given away 2,00 copies and sold another 2,000!
Walking as Guests of the Earth
At Centennial Park in Sydney there is a wonderful Labyrinth. On the first Sunday of each month there is a community labyrinth walk facilitated by various people with interest and passion for labyrinths. Today I had the privilege of facilitating the walk.
