The Staff

Our Priest: Jack McDonald

Our Ordinand: Annie Bolger

Our MES Intern: Ilse Swart

Revd Canon Prof Jack McDonald has been priest at M&Ms since 2011. He combines his pastoral work at M&Ms with duties as canon theologian at Holy Trinity Pro-Cathedral Brussels, as professor of church history at FUTP Bruxelles and as visiting professor of Anglicanism in KU Leuven. Jack is the president of the Central Committee of the Anglican Church in Belgium.

Annie Bolger serves as ordinand and archdeaconry representative. In 2016, she became an intern at M&Ms with the Church of England Ministry Experience Scheme (CEMES), interning for two years before being recommended for ordination training. Annie is training with the College of the Resurrection in Mirfield, UK, and reading theology at KU Leuven. She enjoys planning liturgies and meeting newcomers.

Ilse Swart is our new intern following in the footsteps of Annie. She is from the Netherlands but has lived in Leuven for the past three years and has joined M&M’s in 2016. She is discerning her vocation in the Anglican Church as an intern with the Ministry Experience Scheme (MES). At the same time Ilse continues to study Theology at ETF in Leuven.

Lloyd is originally from the UK and recently completed his own Ministry Experience Scheme (MES) internship in Brussels. He now lives in Leuven where he is continuing to discern a calling to ordained ministry in the Church of England. During this process, he continues to play an active roll in the life and mission of M&Ms.

Jacob Quick is American and is studying for a PhD in philosophy at KU Leuven, looking particularly at theories of animal rights.

Sarah Jones comes from the UK and is one of the most experienced parishioners at M&Ms because she came here to work rather than coming here as a student and then leaving, as most people here do. She is a teacher at the British School of Brussels.
