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.
