Fr. Ramesh Richards SJ was born in Malaysia and moved to Australia in 2006 to pursue studies in Architecture. After practicing Architecture in Melbourne, he joined the Jesuits and has since then earned degrees in Philosophy and Theology both in Australia and at Boston College. He completed his Master of Divinity and Master of Theology both in 2019 at Boston College. Since 2020, Ramesh has been the Rector of The Cardoner Network, the Australian Jesuit Province's young adult ministry.
Ramesh has a wide range of chaplaincy and retreat-giving experiences in high school, university, hospital and prison settings both in Australia and in the US.
He is particularly interested in helping young adults develop their friendship with Jesus Christ through the Spiritual Exercises of St Ignatius. He believes it is through this particular friendship, one is able to appreciate one’s place in the world, and respond to its needs.
