The College and Old Paradians' Association were thrilled at the news of former student John Vespa’s (2002) recent ordination into the Priesthood. 

In a resplendent ceremony, John was ordained by the Church’s new Pope, Pope Leo X1V. John joins our most recent ordained Priest Jaycee Napoles (2003). Jaycee is currently Assistant Priest and Master of Ceremonies at St Patricks Cathedral. Recently appointed Bishop of Cairns, Joe Caddy AM (1977) was our last ordained Old Paradian Priest, before John and Jaycee.

Former student and staff member John Abrahams (1980) sent through a lovely reflective piece on John Vespa’s ‘Journey of Faith’, please click on the link below.
