Bishop Ian’s 4th Anniversary of his Consecration as our Bishop

October 17, 2022 Events

Dear friends,

Next Thursday, 20th October, will be the 4th Anniversary of my Consecration as your Bishop in 2018. I will be giving thanks to God that day, by celebrating the Eucharist at 11.00am in the Lady Chapel of St Ninian’s Cathedral. If you will be in Perth at that time, please come and join me, and if you will be elsewhere please pray for me and for our Diocese.

I value the prayers of every congregation whenever you pray ‘for the Bishop,’ and want you to know how much they have been appreciated, and needed, over the last 4 years.

With my thanks for all your support and encouragement since 20th October 2018, and for the joy of serving as your Bishop,

+ Ian
