Welcoming Joseph Gormally – Diocesan Finance Officer
December 25th, 2024
Introducing Joseph Gormally – Diocesan Finance Officer!
A new arrival to Sale, Joseph comes to us with extensive experience in bookkeeping and accounting. With a Diploma in Business Management, Joseph has held senior positions in logistics and retail firms, where he has successfully led systems improvement and customer relations processes.
Joseph tells us a little more about himself here:
" Hello, my name is Joseph Gormally and I am new to the Cathedral parish of Sale. I’m 29 years old and I moved to the area as my partner is a pilot with the Royal Australian Air Force.
While I was born in the United Kingdom, I grew up in Ireland, so you may find my accent hard to place when we first meet. Growing up in rural Ireland I have always played an active role in the local Church; so much so that, when I left school, I spent a year as a seminarian. However, I soon learned my vocation remained in the laity. I first came to Australia in 2022 when the borders in Ireland reopened after Covid. I spent my first two years in Perth as a key accounts manager. My professional background has been in leadership positions in the retail space. I often acted in an executive role when directors went overseas.
I bring to the Diocese my experience, energy, and a thirst to learn. I pride myself on my interpersonal skills and hope to get to know as many of you as I can. Please don’t be a stranger, and feel free to contact me any time I may be of help. And do keep me in your prayers as I take up this new challenge and make Sale my ‘home away from home."
Joseph will also start early in 2025. His on-boarding will enable Kate Campbell to transition further into her Parish Support role, which is dear to her diaconal heart.
We are blessed to have Kate and Brian’s collective wisdom and experience to call upon as Rae and Joseph settle into the team alongside David Perryman and Tim Gibson, with returnee Jules Lanham (Clearances Officer) and new arrival Krista Mountford (Development and TGA) – all of whom but the Registrar, of course, are part-time.
