Bishop Vivienne Faull welcomes Fr. Jones
“Fr Jones is a faithful priest who has many years of experience here in Bristol and in Zambia, where he served in senior roles as Archdeacon of Lusaka Rural and Vicar General of Lusaka Diocese. Fr Jones brings this experience to St Gregory’s; a church who want to be more and more open to their local community.
“I have seen the ways in which Fr Jones nurtures people in their faith and in their leadership in the church. I am excited to see these gifts bring blessing to St Gregory’s and the community.”
