Greetings. Thank you for your warm welcome as I begin my ministry among you.
The first thing I must do is pay tribute to the care and dedication with which Fr Bede has ministered among you for the past nine years. I know that I have huge shoes to fill. No doubt you’ll still see him about as he continues to support me in understanding the Community and the various elements of the administration.Now, although I know some of you and some know me, just a little about me.
I joined the Ampleforth Community in 1987.
I spent 15 years working at ACJS / SMA, 18 years serving the parish of Kirkbymoorside and Helmsley, and am currently Chaplain to St Margaret’s House in the College.
 At this point I ask you to be patient with me over the next few weeks and months as I get to know you and find the correct balance between my two ministries. I will be spending much time listening and learning.
For a number of reasons this is the beginning of a new journey for all of us. Perhaps a good starting point would be the Parish Vision Statement I was introduced to on Thursday.
I print it below as a reminder. I wonder if the making real of this statement should be our main task together.
Wishing you every blessing,
Fr Kentigern 
 
 
Our Parish Vision Prayer
 
We pray that we may be a growing community
Which, thorough the power of the Holy Spirit, joyfully serves the mission given to us by Jesus Christ.
 We pray that we may be a welcoming family
In which, young or old, you are known by name, loved and accepted as you are, invited to pray, to share your life, to heal and to grow, to enjoy a loving relationship with God, yourself and others, and so become the person you were created to be.
 We pray that together we may reach out in love
To serve the needs of the world and offer the joy and hope of the Gospel to others, through our actions, our words and the example of our lives, responding above all to the cry of the poor and the cry of the earth, so that in all things God our Father will be glorified.
