Welcoming the new Rector Father David

Rector’s welcome

Welcome to our benefice web site. In the photograph above you see our Rector, Rev’d David Ridgeway, at the celebration following his Induction Service on Sunday 29th November 2015. The service took place in our largest church, at Castor, dedicated to St. Kyneburgha, a Saxon princess, who in the seventh century founded a convent where the church now stands, among the ruins of what is thought to have been the second largest Roman building in Britain. The present church is Norman, and has some rare and beautiful carving on the tower. It was dedicated in 1124. The main benefice Holy Communion service is held here every Sunday at 10.15am.

Candlemas - Sunday 3rd February

candlemas

Next Sunday, 3rd February (10:1am at Castor) we will be celebrating the feast of the Presentation of Christ, commonly know as Candlemas.  During this service we will be reviving the ancient tradition of blessing the stocks of candles that have been purchased for use during the year ahead. 

If you would like to donate a box of candles, contributions towards the cost will be gratefully received. The costs vary from £10 upwards to about £50 for the larger votive lights.  Donations may be given to verger David Edwards or benefice administrator Jo Morris.  Please place your offering in an envelope marked candles.

Thank you.  Fr David
