Hi I'm Francis Stewart, the Chaplaincy Co-ordinator at Our Lady's.

I will be the new Chaplaincy Co-ordinator from September as Ben O'Flynn has left to train to be a priest!

I am excited to start this job because I feel like I am joining a community where people look after each other through all the ups and downs of school life. I hope to give pupils and staff a sense that they are each a crucial part of Jesus Christ's mission of love so they can carry that out into the world in whatever they do. 

At the weekend, I'm involved in St Bernadette's music ministry, playing guitar. In my free time, I'm easy to please, a trip to the seaside will suffice. I'm a big cricket fan, though my career peaked aged 13 with a 6-wicket haul for Torrisholme CC.

This year we welcome Fr Stephen Bamber to our Chaplaincy team.  He is new to the priesthood and serves in the Cathedral Parish of St Peter and the Lancaster Martyrs.  We are delighted to have Fr. Stephen join the Our Lady's family. 

Fr. Stephen Bamber
