Rev Karen Petherick installed as Rector of the Benefice

On Sunday, 15th September 2024, worshippers from across the Benefice of Milton, Norton and Brown Edge came together to celebrate the Eucharist, and Installation and Induction of Reverend Karen in the presence of Matthew, the Bishop of Stafford, and Megan, Archdeacon of Stoke-on-Trent.  

In front of full church Rev Karen received the ‘cure of souls’ and the real, actual and corporeal possession of the Churches and Benefice. Rev Karen was then warmly welcomed and applauded by all present. 

Following the service the congregation continued to celebrate with refreshments in the parish room.

We wish Rev Karen God’s love and blessings for her future ministry in the Benefice.
