FATHER Vincent Curtis, Parish Priest of St John Fisher Wellington and St Richard Wiveliscombe for just over five years, has left to continue his Ministry in the Parish of St Edmund, in Calne, Wiltshire.

Following his last celebration of Sunday Mass at St John Fisher, Pastoral Council chairman Julia Tucker and former parish priest Father Bernard Shackleton, spoke in appreciation of Father Vincent’s ministry in the parish.

Father Vincent was presented with a monetary gift and a buffet lunch was enjoyed afterwards in the parish room. Father Ikeokwu Nouh is succeeding Father Vincent.
