Priest-in-Charge
Heather is currently on maternity leave. Heather and Ali are very much still part of the Church however, so you are likely to bump into Heather at the back of Church or having a cup of tea!
Church Administrator & Safeguarding Lead
Sue is a long-standing member of St Francis and is heavily involved in the life of the church. Alongside being our Church Warden and Safeguarding Lead, she is one of the leads of the Top-Up Shop group.
Sue loves spending time with her grandchildren and relaxing in her beach hut at Felixstowe.
Associate Minister
David is a retied priest who has spent the whole of his ordained ministry here in Suffolk from 1980 onwards. Most recently he was Vicar of St Margaret’s Church here in Ipswich having served there for nearly 28 years. In retirement he lives within walking distance of St Francis and as well as being a keen walker (fortunately) his hobbies include sport, railways, gardening and reading. David is ready to support Heather and the rest of the team in whatever ways are helpful whilst continuing to enjoy an easier paced life!
