Cadets & Training Corps

Julian Penfold

Air Training Corps: 1401 Squadron

I am Padre to 1401 Squadron (ATC). The role of the squadron chaplain (Padre) is to offer spiritual guidance and pastoral support to cadets, staff officers, civilian instructors, and their families. I lead a monthly “padres hour” where we discuss moral, ethical and citizenship issues, and am involved when cadets are enrolled and are called upon to make their ATC promise. There is also a Chaplain at the 1360 Stapleford Squadron.
