We are thrilled to share the photos from Revd Liz's licensing service with you which summarise the occasion. This was a joyous service of great rejoicing for our parish, and we are truly thankful for all those who contributed to make it a success to give Revd Liz a hearty St Matthew and St Luke welcome!

Thank you to the Lord-Lieutenant of Greater Manchester, the Mayor of Oldham, the Rt Revd Mark Davies, the Ven Karen Smeeton, the Revd Daniel Ramble, Inspector Amie Whitehead from Greater Manchester Police, Darren Clarke, Cllr Eddie Moores, the schools in our parish, our wonderful choir, all the ministry team, church officers and laity of our parish, Liz's friends and family and visiting clergy. We were truly blessed by your presence with us.

We also give thanks to God for the dedication of the clergy who gave unstintingly of their time to support us during interregnum and played an important part in ministering to our congregations and community.
