Dr Christina Pal has been appointed at the new Academic Director for the Pontifical Beda College. She will begin in the second semester (but will be here from 24th January for a handover period). There is some information below on Dr Christina.
The joy of new arrivals is always accompanied by the sadness of partings. On Wednesday 28th January we will be having a special leaving event for Sr Patricia McDonald (with solemn Vespers and a festal meal). It will be an occasion to say an enormous ‘thankyou’ to Sr Patricia for her great service and contribution to this college over so many years.
Please hold Sr Patricia and Dr Christina in your prayers at this time of transition.
