Xavier College
For the majority of his years as a Jesuit, Fr Michael's ministry has been in the Society's educational apostolate, though the last ten years have seen Michael's appointment to two of our Centres of Ignatian Spirituality.
After 12 years as a student at Xavier College, Michael entered the Jesuit novitiate. Subsequent tertiary studies saw him complete his B.A., B.Theol, and an educational administration degree after Tertianship.
He was appointed headmaster of St Ignatius College, Adelaide in 1986. He returned to his place of regency appointment, St Aloysius College, in 1994 as Rector. Appointment to a similar position at Xavier College came in 2001. In 2010, Michael was given a sabbatical spending most of it in Ignatian formation for adults. This led to ministry in our retreat houses in Sydney, Sevenhill and Melbourne.
At various times Fr Michael has been a member of four of our Jesuit schools.
