Priest in charge - STONE CROSS with NORTH LANGNEY

Introduction

Priest in Charge of Stone Cross with North Langney

St Luke’s, Stone Cross with North Langney, is a friendly and welcoming parish church on the outskirts of Eastbourne. We are nourished by worship in a modern Catholic tradition. We are a lively community, and we believe there is enormous potential for further growth.
 

We are looking for a priest with:

• an engaging personal faith.
• the desire to minister in the modern catholic tradition.
• a commitment to community ministry and outreach to people of all ages.
• strong pastoral skills.
• personal resilience, warmth and a good sense of humour.
• a passion for schools’ ministry and
• a track record of building a team.

The parsonage is a modern four-bedroomed house within walking distance of the church and is well-served by shops and road and rail links. A committed PCC and team of volunteers is ready to support our new priest in the next chapter of St Luke’s life.
