Who We Are
The Youth Pastoral Team is comprised of the Principal Youth Chaplain, Father David Wallace and two Youth Officers - Rachel Romain and Chris Docherty.
 

 

Chris has worked in diocesan youth ministry since 1995, engaging in a variety of project work with schools, parishes and ecumenical contacts.

A native of Glasgow, Chris studied Literature & Psychology at Strathclyde University before spending a year as a Jesuit Volunteer in Liverpool in 1994-5.

Alongside his ongoing work, he has completed a postgraduate certificate in Youth & Community Studies from St Martin’s College, Lancaster, and a Masters in Pastoral Studies from Loyola University in New Orleans.

Rachel is originally from the Diocese of Brentwood.

She studied philosophy and theology before a spell teaching RE and then working at a Diocesan youth retreat centre.

From 2006 till 2008 she lived in Belgium and ate far too much chocolate!

Her interests include playing trumpet and guitar, but not at the same time.
