Priest in Charge of Warley and Mount Pellon

Our vision as the Diocese is about confident clergy equipping confident Christians to live and tell the good news of Jesus Christ. For all our appointments we are seeking clergy who have a joyful and confident faith which has inspired a track record of church growth.

These two parishes are coming together for the first time, in the hope that working together alongside a new priest will maximise opportunities to foster growth. There is commitment to build relationship, to reach out into the community with the love of God, to develop in discipleship and to nurture new believers.
