At just 25 years old, BJ Perrett is a charismatic and articulate individual, yet he is not in search of romantic companionship. Instead, he is preparing to become Australia’s youngest Catholic priest, with ordination looming only weeks away.
BJ’s journey to the priesthood has been challenging, requiring six years of rigorous studies, which includes obtaining a master’s degree in theological studies. Additionally, he is committed to the vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience that accompany his chosen vocation.
If all proceeds smoothly, BJ will be ordained in the middle of the year, potentially signalling a fresh direction for the Toowoomba church community. This pivotal moment not only marks a significant personal achievement for him but also represents a hopeful new chapter for the local parish.
