WHO'S WHO AT HTW?
LOCUM VICAR, REVEREND DR RONALD NOONE
Father Ron Noone was appointed as Locum at Holy Trinity by Bishop Kate Prowd and began his service here after Easter 2019. He will continue to lead the congregation until a permanent incumbent is appointed by the Archbishop of Melbourne.
Father Ron began his career as a secondary school teacher in New South Wales teaching social science subjects. He discerned a vocation to the priesthood and began studying theology at Trinity College at the University of Melbourne. Following ordination in 1977, he served at St. David’s Moorabbin. His teaching background led him to become a chaplain at Geelong Grammar School for five satisfying years. Ron resigned in order to study at the General Theological Seminary in New York. He gained a Master of Sacred Theology in 1983 and then completed a PhD in education, majoring in Religious Education at New York University in 1986.
He returned to Australia to take up the role of Director of the Anglican Department of Education in Perth for five years, supporting both parishes and schools as well as lecturing at Murdoch University and leading the ordination-training program for the diocese. After a semester as Visiting Professor of Religious Education at the General Seminary in New York in 1991, he became the Vicar of All Saints’ Newtown in Geelong for six years. He was an Examining Chaplain for the Diocese of Melbourne for 11 years. He was Head of Religious Education at Melbourne Grammar School and then Senior Chaplain at MGS from 2005 to 2012.
Since retiring from the school Fr Ron has conducted a number of locums in the Diocese of Melbourne as well as Interim Rector for a year at the church of the Transfiguration in New York. Ron is married to Rosemary (Ro is a teacher and horticulturalist) and their daughters are Sarah and Emily, also a teacher. Ron and Ro both enjoy sports (golf), reading, the Arts and crosswords.
