Our New Parish Priest

We give a very warm welcome to Father Stephen Talbutt who has been appointed as our Parish Priest.
Fr Stephen was ordained on 6th of July 2019, on the feast of St Maria Goretti at St Peter’s Cathedral, Lancaster. The Ordination Rite and prayers of imposition was presided by Rt Rev Bishop Paul Swarbrick, Bishop of Lancaster.

Here is a message from him by way of introduction:
Hello, my name is Stephen Talbutt, I’m from Lancaster born and bred, and I have been appointed by Bishop Paul to join you in the parishes of St Wulstan and St Edmunds, and St Mary’s.
Just a little bit about myself, I’m 54 years old and have been an ordained priest for 5 years (I’m definitely a late vocation). Prior to this I worked in the IT sector in many roles. 
I’m looking forward to get to know you all and travelling with you on our journey to the Lord.
Many thanks to Fr Alf for all the help he has given me in the last week, and wishing him
a very happy and blessed retirement.
Fr Stephen
