Fr. Rich McAuliff, SJ

• School Chaplain

• Vicar of Yap

Fr. Rich McAuliff, a Jesuit from the U.S. East Province, has served in Micronesia for more than thirty years—in the Marshall Islands, in Chuuk, in Palau, and now in Yap. He began at Yap Catholic High School in 2018 as the school director before stepping down in summer 2025 to focus on the Yap Vicariate and his pastoral duties.

He is now based in the Micronesian Seminar Library as its acting director, and is also continuing on campus as the school chaplain.
