Celebrating 15 Years of Service: Thank You, Deacon Steve!
November 21, 2025
This is Deacon Steve’s last weekend assisting on the altar at Mass.
This is Deacon Steve’s last weekend assisting on the altar at Mass. He is stepping back from his role after this weekend.
While we are saying thank you for his active service, we are delighted that Deacon Steve is not going anywhere! He will still be involved in the Parish in any way that Fr Keith would like him to be.
Deacon Steve has served our Parish for 15 years and we are profoundly grateful for his steady presence. During his tenure, he has faithfully assisted:
- Four full-time Parish Priests
- One Priest in Charge
- Two periods of interregnum
- A major COVID lockdown
His impact on the parish, both in visible ministries and in the many unseen tasks, is immeasurable.
Thank you, Deacon Steve, for everything you have done for St Philip Evans over the last 15 years. We wish you every blessing in the future.
God bless from all in St Philip Evans.
On the third anniversary of the war in Sudan, Kayode Akintola, CAFOD’s Head of Region for Africa, asks for your help: “So many of our sisters and brothers in Sudan are facing increasing violence, hunger, and disease. That is why today, I’m asking you to consider setting up a regular gift to support families who are fleeing the violence – with food, safe water and other vital support. Monthly gifts are an act of steady love for our neighbours, a way of saying: we will not abandon you, we will stand with you until peace is restored.” Donate at cafod.org.uk/StandWithSudan
