Our rector is Rev Willie Shaw. He was instituted in September 2016 as the full-time rector of St Catharine’s and St Mary’s and enjoys being here greatly!  Our Curate and Deacon is Rev Susan Ward, who grew up through St Mary’s.  She is serving her three year curacy here and plans to stay on afterwards.  Her role includes making the links between church and community through outreach.
