Fr Paul Keane

I am a priest of the Diocese of Brentwood (Essex and East London) and have been the Catholic Chaplain to the University of Cambridge since 2022. Born and raised in London, I read History at Peterhouse, and trained for the priesthood in Rome at the Venerable English College. Having been a curate, a parish priest, and vice-rector of a seminary, it is a privilege to be the chaplain and live at Fisher House. I look forward to meeting you!

Amy Cameron

Amy Cameron, a dynamic Catholic leader committed to forming faith-filled and mission-oriented communities, works as Director of Formation & Mission Development for the Diocese of Hexham & Newcastle, and is President of the National Board of Catholic Women in England & Wales. A wife and mother of three, Amy has led her diocesan Synodal journey, served as an observer at the European Continental Assembly of the Synod, and collaborates with the School for Synodality to support leadership formation rooted in accompaniment, co-responsibility, and spiritual discernment.

Jordan Kelly

Originally from Essex, Jordan is now based in Sheffield with his wife, Ali, and their two children. He carries a deep call to see the Church become who she truly is and to equip others to step more fully into the mission of sharing the Good News of Jesus. He is the Regional Lead for Divine Renovation in the UK, serves with the Encounter School of Ministry, and is a member of One Hope Project.

Amanda Radomski

Amanda is beginning her eighth year as a FOCUS missionary. She spent five years on university campuses in the US and Germany and is starting her third year working digitally with students throughout the world. Currently, she lives in Passau, Germany, with her husband Dennis and two sons Edward and Corbinian. Sunsets, beaches, cafes, books, and a good workout are among her favourite things.

Akira Pingol Jirenfelt

After living mission in Gothenburg and across Sweden, the Lord has called me to serve as a FOCUS missionary with Digital Outreach. My mission is to reach students from all over the world, especially in places around Europe where they have no one to guide them. I want to walk with them, inspire them to live mission, and invite others to know Jesus.
