I'm Fr. Joe, Salesian of Don Bosco. I'm originally from Vietnam and joined the GBR Province in 2011 as a Salesian brother. I like playing football and enjoy cooking.
Hi! I am Fr Paulin T.E. Meba. I am a Salesian Priest, and I am from Togo (West Africa-on the Atlantic Coast), living and working here at Savio House. I very much enjoy life in the countryside and classical music. I love active games and also working with young people, because they are the fantastic future adults of our societies. You're most welcome at Savio House.
My name is K Chin, and I am a Salesian of Don Bosco (SDB) from Vietnam. I’m excited and happy to be part of the SAVIO retreat team this year, serving and accompanying young people just as Don Bosco did.
I'm Mark Suchiang, SDB. Adventure fuels my spirit, whether it's hiking through nature or exploring new experiences. I'm a music lover who enjoys connecting with young people, sharing stories, laughter, and life's journey along the way.
Hi I’m Ed! I am originally from Doncaster but have been living in Leeds since 2015. After I graduated university in 2019 I joined Savio house as a volunteer before training to become a physics teacher. I taught physics for 6 years but have now returned to Savio House as the team leader. I love music and going to gigs, cooking fancy food and watching cricket and rugby!
Hi I'm Natalia. I am originally from Poland and have a deep love for my culture, as well as a curiosity for discovering other cultures. I am passionate about sports, especially tennis, and I dream of traveling the world more. After finishing university, I feel called to inspire young people and help bring them closer to God, sharing with them the beauty of the Church and the gift of the Eucharist that has deeply shaped my own faith.
My name is Anastasia. I am from Georgia.
I studied psychology and worked with young people at a neuro-rehabilitation centre. I am fond of reading, swimming, making jewellery and volunteering. I believe, here at Savio I will gain a truly life-changing experience.
Hi I'm Matilda and I am from Surrey, I am here at Savio House for my gap year and will be going on to University to study History next year. I love making jewellery and reading.
I'm Ophelia, born in London and moved to Macclesfield in 2017. I’m currently doing my gap year at Savio house and I’m looking forward to working with young people. Next year I am going to Saint Mary’s University in Twickenham to study Primary school teaching with a QTS. I cannot wait for the opportunities that lie ahead in the future.
Hi, I’m Zille. I’m from Hungary, Budapest. I love reading, playing any games from board games to basketball.
