Announcement (In case you missed this last week)
The following announcement was made in church on Sunday 27th September:
Rt Rev Debbie Sellin, Bishop of Peterborough has appointed Rev Ruth Mock to the post of Canon for Mission and Learning at Peterborough Cathedral (subject to the satisfactory completion of the usual legal checks and procedures.)
Ruth says, “It has been a joy and a privilege to be your vicar here for the past 7 years. During that time, we have been through a lot together and achieved so much together. I feel my time here has prepared me to meet the challenges that await me in joining the senior leadership team at Peterborough Cathedral and for that I am very grateful to you all. Of course, this announcement is both sad and joyful and over the next three months we will have many opportunities to say our farewells and remember the good times we have had together. I will take up my new post in January 2027 and will be licensed at the Cathedral at 3.30pm during Evensong on Sunday 24th January.
