Having been raised a Catholic in Willesden Green, North-West London, and attended Cardinal Hinsley High School, I read Divinity at Trinity College, Cambridge. There I became very much involved with Fisher House, the Catholic Chaplaincy. A year at St Benet’s Hall, Oxford, followed, where I did a Masters in Ecclesiastical History. Since shortly after my Confirmation in 1997 I had thought of a possible priestly vocation, and I became increasingly drawn to the ideal to St Philip Neri, the founder of the Congregation of the Oratory. Currently I am in the third year of my noviciate at the London Oratory and completing my Philosophy at Allen Hall.
