Farewell to Jeff Burn

We have been blessed...

It has been a privilege to work with Jeff Burn, a leader who has profound integrity, offers generous support and accompaniment, who is patient, kind, competent, credible and wise. Jeff has walked alongside the KEM Principals and their communities and the KEM Board as they have all continued to evolve and grow. He has lent his voice and expertise to the Catholic Education and broader Church agendas, through contributing to new and emerging committees and Boards. He retires with a wonderful reputation of being a highly valued leader amongst leaders.  

While we have spoken previously of Jeff’s long list of accomplishments as a successful educator and leader, we wish to acknowledge the void that he leaves in the Kildare Ministries office. The Mission and Ministry team have delighted in his sense of fun and enjoyment of life and the wonderful stories shared about his beautiful granddaughters. We have appreciated working with and learning from Jeff the leader and Jeff the person. Kildare Ministries is a richer place for his contribution, leadership and presence. 

We will miss you Jeff but wish you every blessing as you ‘travel a new and different path’. 

Erica, Pádraig, Monica, Niluka and Renee.
