The Curate

Fr David Harris
Fr Tomas (Rev’d Dr K T Krejci) is our assistant curate. He read theology at Oxford where he also trained for ministry at St Stephen’s House. A solicitor for over two decades, he now lives in Reading and brings with him a deep love of Catholic life and learning. 
Fr Stephen Cousins is the Chaplain at Shiplake College in Henley and spends his free Sundays helping us out at S Giles.  He has a heart for young people, the poor and part-times as a Street Pastor on the crazy streets of Reading on a Friday night (until the wee hours of Saturday!).
