Director

Phil Crotty SJ

Fr Phil joined the Jesuits as an 18 year old and sailed to India two-and-a-half years later as part of the third group of Australian and New Zealand Jesuits to go on mission to the subcontinent. He worked there for the next 50 years, teaching in village schools, running university hostels, working as a parish priest and superior of the mission, before returning to Australia to work at the Jesuit Mission office in Melbourne. After another short stint back in India's Jesuit province of Hazaribag, Fr Phil was appointed as the Director of Jesuit Mission in Sydney, a position he currently holds. The Hazaribag projects remain close to his heart. 'India is where our roots are, our emotional contact.'
