On behalf of the Overseas Seminary Committee, I am pleased to inform you that the Dicastery for the Clergy has confirmed the recommendation from the Standing Committee of the appointment of Fr. Marcus Holden (Southwark) as Rector of the Beda College from the summer. I am also pleased to inform you that Fr Steven Billington (Leeds) will be appointed as the Spiritual Director for the new year of formation also starting in the autumn. I am most grateful for the generosity of Archbishop John Wilson and Bishop Marcus Stock for allowing these priests to undertake this important ministry of formation of priests for the Church.
I thank Canon Philip Gillespie and Fr John Carlyle for their dedication and commitment over their terms of office. Canon Philip awaits his next appointment by Archbishop Malcolm while Fr John looks forward to the freedom from the duties of his office.
Please pray for them and for the staff and students at the Beda at this time of change.
+John Sherrington
