Father Michael's News “I have been your Vicar for 12 years. Together we have shared in some interesting and challenging changes and developments in our churches, not least the formation of our benefice, a very strong and effective partnership and friendship between Holy Trinity, Cookham and St John the Baptist, Cookham Dean. I have felt very privileged to be your parish priest for so long. However I believe it is time for me to move on and I am pleased to announce today that the Archbishop of York has appointed me to be a Canon at York Minster. In addition to being part of the Chapter which prays daily in the Minster and is responsible for all that happens there, I will have particular responsibility for the pastoral care of the congregation, the visitors, the volunteers and everyone who works at the Minster. I do not know when my nstallation as Canon will take place but it will not be until the summer so I am going to be around for a little while yet! Ann and I are sad to be leaving Cookham where we, and our family, have been very happy for so long, but we are also excited about the challenges ahead. I am confident that our excellent churchwardens and Ministry Team will make a great job of managing the interregnum when it begins and guide our churches and benefice into the next exciting stage of its journey. Please pray for me and my family as we prepare for this move. Please pray for our churchwardens and Ministry Team and be assured that I will continue to pray for all of you as I have been doing ever since I became your parish priest.” Fr Michael
