Welcome to Kildare Ministries

David Alcock

Business, Finance and Risk Manager

We are delighted to welcome to Kildare Ministries, David Alcock as the newly appointed Business, Finance and Risk Manager.  David comes to us with breadth and depth of experience. He has been a major contributor to Catholic Education through his work with a number of schools as Business Manager.   In addition, he dedicated five years to the Trustees of Mary Aikenhead Ministries as Deputy Chair of the Trustees as well as the Chair of the Finance and the Social Outreach Committees. Further, David has been most generous with his time, skills and talents volunteering his services to many parishes and committees over the years.  This gives David invaluable insight into the current landscape of PJPs and the various obligations and structures within them. To deepen his knowledge of his faith and practice, he is also currently undertaking a Theology degree.    

As the Business Finance and Risk Manager, David will work across our 13 ministries and assist the Trustees and the KEM Board with their statutory obligations.  David commenced with us on 3 April 2019 and will make arrangements to visit each ministry as a first priority.

On behalf of the Trustees of Kildare Ministries, we congratulate David on his appointment and look forward to the positive contribution he will no doubt make to the development of the business, finance and risk management of Kildare Ministries.
