Curate in Charge
A note from Mandy
On the 1st of February, The Parish celebrated the Licencing of Revd Sam Crossley (Vicar of St Andrew Longton) as Priest in Charge of our Parish, and myself (commissioned, Revd Mandy) as Curate in Charge of our Parish. It was a real celebration following a time of preparation and interviews.
So, what does this mean for our Parish moving forward? Revd Sam holds the legal position for the Parish, and a supportive role for my Ministry as I complete my Curacy over the next 3 years. As Curate in Charge, I am responsible for the day to day running of the Parish, the worship (services), funerals, baptisms, etc. and I will be able to celebrate weddings after I am Ordained a Priest at the end of June 2026.
This sounds pretty complicated, but all it means is that I have the privilege of leading St Michaels into the next stage of life with the help of God and our wonderful team. Thank you to all who attended, and I am very excited about this new ministry for our Church.
Revd Mandy
