24.01.2022 The parishioners of Saint Johns and Saint Agnes celebrate the 1st anniversary of the commissioning of our Vicar, The Reverend Dr Alexander Ross on the 29th of June 2020. As a young Vicar, Alex has brought to this role everything we could have wished for. He has shown true dedication facing every challenge with strength, thoughtfulness, discretion, compassion and vision. We are most grateful for his ministry and the added pleasure that his wife Kirsty and children William and Bella have brought to our parish. Fr Alex - we know we are truly blessed to have your ministry here with us and pray for it to continue and that you may have strength to face the challenges these duties may bring. It is an absolute joy that the Ross family have joined our parish family, thank you
