St Peter’s, West Bromwich

is seeking to appoint an

 

Associate Priest (0.5)

 

We are looking for a priest who will:

• ·      exercise a sacramental ministry that centres on the Mass
• ·      value the contributions of members of the ministry team and seek to develop their talents
• ·      provide a clear lead for mission and evangelism
• ·      be a pastor, spiritual director, teacher and friend
• ·      make contact with the local community and bring young people to the church.

Bishop Jonathan writes:

Though small, the congregation is dedicated and very hardworking, and, as you will read, has a clear and practical shared vision for their worship and witness – both for the immediate next steps of their mission plan, and for the further journey.  What they most need—what any clearly Catholic community needs—is a priest who can feed that hope, and lead that journey. 

 

There are high expectations of working together—as clergy and laity—both in partnership with the congregation of St Francis Friar Park, whose strength and encouragement will be a real asset to St Peter’s, and in a closer fellowship with the Ebbsfleet parishes in this part of the Black Country. 

 

Please do not hesitate to be in touch, with me or with Fr Ron, if a conversation would help.  May God bless your thinking and praying.
