Michael Roche

Michael Roche - degree in Politics, University of Hertfordshire, and an MA in Biblical Studies, Heythrop College, London I have just completed the past six years in my role as Pastoral Assistant at a catholic parish in north west London. I was involved in evangelisation and catechesis with adults and young people aged 11-18. I was looking to make a professional change and teaching seemed the natural choice. Teachers have played an important part in my life and my faith development, so inspired by their example I thought it would be a privilege to be able to do the same for some other young people. RE is so important. It helps young people to develop their thinking and to explore the big questions. These are skills they need for the whole of life, and if I can help even just one young person through my teaching of RE, that would be an honour.
