An Announcement from the Vicar
13 Mar 2016 • General news
St Alban’s Highgate, 13th March 2016
I am afraid I have an important announcement to make.
After some difficult years, Catherine’s laboratory is being closed down and she has had to look for a new post. She has been offered a new job in Harrogate and we are now moving at the end of June.
It has been very difficult for me to come to grips with this decision. Until after Christmas I was intending to stay in this post for the duration. Despite the inevitable frustrations that come with every job, with many of you, with people in Highgate and with the Academy across the road we have been able to carry on the precious work begun by our predecessors, and to get involved in new ventures that had just about begun. Therefore, I greatly regret leaving so early on. But it can’t be helped.
My last Sunday here will be on 19th June, and on 23rd June I will be licensed to the parish of St Martin’s and All Souls’ in Leeds.
In the meantime, I will be trying to tie up as many loose ends as possible and will be in conversation with the Diocese – as the PCC will too – for a smooth transition to a new incumbent in due course.
If you have any questions I will be happy to answer them after the service.
Thank you.
Nicholas lo Polito
