Coventry was ordained as a Roman Catholic priest in 1947. In 1950, he began eight years at Old Windsor in England, first as the prefect of studies at secondary school, then as a headmaster. After his stint as the provincial from 1958 to 1964, he joined Heythrop College as a lecturer in Christian doctrine until 1970 when he ventured to the University of London in the same position for six years.

Achievements
-
John Coventry devoted his life and career to the study of religion. When he became the Jesuit provincial in England in 1958, he was the youngest man ever to hold that position. During his career, he also founded the Association of Inter-Church Families, which was “set up for the support of church families seeking help in their marriages and family lives over difficulties arising from Christian divisions,” as noted in the London Times. Coventry was the author of several books, including Morals and Independence, The Breaking of Bread, Faith Seeks Understanding, The Life Story of the Mass, The Theology of Faith, Faith in Jesus Christ, Reconciling, and Christian Truth.
