Introduction	I am priest of the Archdiocese of Southwark where I am the assistant priest at St. Thomas of Canterbury, Catholic Church in Sevenoaks. This is my second appointment. After ordination in July 2019 I was made assistant priests at St. Anselm's in Tooting Bec. I grew up and have lived all of my early life in Cornwall, the son of a farming family. I left home and went away to University to study Law with German, with the ambition of becoming a lawyer and then going into politics. However, the Lord had other ideas. I converted to evangelical Christianity during my first year of University and then two years later, whilst studying abroad in Germany, I converted to Catholicism. Since then, I discerned a call to leave my long nurtured career ambitions and to serve Christ in the priesthood. After nine years of training, I was ordained to the priesthood by the late Archbishop Peter Smith R.I.P.
