Patristic Pillars is a series on Radio Maria England, bringing the Church Fathers to life with Fr Joseph Hamilton.

Fr Joseph Hamilton is the Rector of the Domus Australia in Rome and a priest of the Archdiocese of Sydney Australia. Prior to his appointment at Domus, he served as private secretary to George Cardinal Pell, until the Cardinal’s untimely death. Fr Joseph completed his doctoral studies in Patristics at Christ Church College Oxford and his license at the Patristic Institute 'Augustinianum' in Rome. Prior to entering seminary he worked as an investment banker. Having left the economy of Mammon for that of Salvation, he studied at the Pontifical North American College. A native of Ireland, he is a keen but mediocre (his words) surfer, and enjoys reading and cooking.

Patristic Pillars airs live on Radio Maria England every Monday in our CREDO slot at 4pm and is rebroadcast at 4am the following morning.
