The Installation of
The Reverend Canon Stephen Gregory
as Honorary Canon of Gloucester Cathedral

The churchwardens were delighted to receive a letter recently from the Bishop of Gloucester announcing that he had invited Father Stephen to become an Honorary Canon of Gloucester Cathedral, and that Fr Stephen had accepted.

Bishop Michael went on to say that Fr Stephen's appointment as an Honorary Canon is a recognition of both his outstanding ministry in Prestbury and his service as Rural Dean. It also says something about his relationship with Bishop Michael's own ministry, and about the place of Prestbury in the life of the diocese.

Fr Stephen's Collation and Installation as a Canon of Gloucester Cathedral was during Evensong on Sunday 7 November at 3.00 pm. A large group of supporters from across the Team Ministry were able to attend.

Congratulations to Fr Stephen and continuing thanks for all that he does, both seen and unseen, through his ministry here.

As a Canon of the cathedral, Fr Stephen will always have his own seat for all the grand occasions

At the same service, The Reverend Mark Bailey,
Team Vicar of Holy Trinity, Cheltenham, was also installed as Honorary Canon,
