This year sees St. Patrick’s Evangelisation School (SPES) journey into its sixth year. As we look back we can see how God has blessed us abundantly. Looking towards the future our hearts are filled with hope, trust and faith in his continued providence.

With numerous resources by way of Priests, Sisters, teachers, married couples and lay leaders who share their experiences with the students, the School is now fully established as part of the Parish and Diocesan family.

An introduction to the SPES Team:


Fr. Alexander Sherbrooke is Parish Priest and Founder


...............................

Vincent Gardiner (2007) & Edna Ribeiro dos Santos (2008), both graduates of the School of Evangelisation, provide the necessary support and co-ordination of the daily running of the school and are mentors to the new incoming students.


Father Matt Blake OCD is the School's Chaplain.



Fr. Francis Selman is the Dean of Studies



Arnold Biernacki is the wonderful Polish cook who provides two out of three meals a day for the students and the SPES Team.


The students who have attended the school over the years have been young people of all nationalities - from Europe, Asia, Africa and America - all with one purpose - that of knowing, loving and serving Jesus and His Church.

Throughout the SPES website there are numerous accounts from these students of their experiences and how God has worked in their lives.
