Fr Rob Galea
Priest and Executive Director of ICON Ministry
Fr Rob Galea is older than he looks, smarter than he sounds, and possibly one of the biggest introverts you will ever meet. In spite of this, his purpose will inspire you, his passion will quicken you and his love for Jesus will captivate you. Fr Rob is an evangelist at heart and uses all he has and does to let anyone who would listen know their worth, dignity and purpose in life. Apart from all this honourable stuff, Fr Rob is also a gym junkie and has a dog named Cooper, which he believes is cuter than your dog. Oh, and he has also written a book!
Jason Giuliani
Director of Mission and Strategy
Jason brings over 18 years of experience in Catholic education and ministry, having served as a Religious Education Leader, Youth Ministry Leader, Music Ministry Leader, and Deputy Principal leading Catholic Identity. A long-time collaborator with Fr Rob Galea, he blends a strong leadership background with a heart for mission and a deep love of music.
As Director of Mission and Strategy at ICON, Jason leads the ministry’s strategic direction and evangelisation efforts. He also serves as a parish musician in Shepparton and regularly performs with Fr Rob both nationally and internationally. Based between Shepparton and Melbourne, Jason is passionate about leadership, culture-building, and using creative tools to make Jesus known and loved. He feels deeply blessed to share this mission with his wife Katrina and their daughters, Lily and Sienna.

Media Team
Kryz Wangsawidjaja
Social Media Manager
Meet Kryz, who hails from Indonesia. He's a fantastic asset to ICON Ministry, managing the social media accounts. Kryz is incredibly grateful for the chance to spread God's love and hope through the digital space. When he's not busy crafting and editing content for our audience, Kryz enjoys playing video games, reading, working out, and looking after his three tarantulas, which he insists are just as loveable as any dog.
Right now, Kryz is focused on beating MetaSaint in under 1 hour, which is going pretty well, and he's also working on surpassing Fr. Rob's bench press personal record, although that's proving to be more of a challenge.
