St Luke’s is a warm and welcoming parish Church in the outer estate of Kingstanding in the North of Birmingham.
The Bishop of Birmingham is seeking a prayerful priest who will accompany this ‘modern catholic’ parish on a journey of growth and deepening of discipleship. The parish is under the extended episcopal oversight of the Bishop of Oswestry. The parish is a vibrant hub of social and spiritual activity and is ambitious to grow with an organised and inspiring priest to help them become a beacon of faith, hope and love for the community they are called to serve.
The ideal candidate will be:
•An energetic and active priest who can flourish in a modern catholic tradition and who may also be affiliated to The Society and/or a member of SSC
•A leader in faith who can engage warmly with people
•A priest who is organised and visionary in exploring the significant potential of this parish to grow
•An inspiring preacher and teacher of the faith that will build on the strong foundation laid down by previous vicars and lay leaders
