I can now announce that Canon Mark Hackeson, formerly parish priest of King and Martyr, Bury St Edmunds will be taking over from me in September. Fr Mark was secretary to the late Bishop Michael Evans and is also Vice Chancellor of the Diocese. He is a member of the Chapter of Canons, hence his official title of Canon, although he will prefer to be addressed as Fr Mark. I anticipate my last weekend in the parish will be Saturday 31st August and Sunday 1st September.

Fr Mark's first weekend in the parish will be the 7th and 8th September, and I know that you will all make him very welcome.
