My name is Fr Michael Bailey. I am currently on Sabbatical from my role as a Vicar of St Stephen’s Lewisham, Southeast London. I have been ordained over thirteen years and have studied and served in a variety of places in England. I was a Nurse before this and worked in Cancer Care for ten years.

I have chosen St Francis as the focus of my Sabbatical because I am impressed by his care of the sick and seeking out those in our society that are on the ‘edges.’ During my time here I am very happy to meet you and have conversations. I am Irish by background and that means I am very chatty.
