Rev Mary West

I was appointed the Team Rector of the parish of Greenstead with St Anne in October 2007.  I am new to the Colchester area but have been impressed by the commitment of the staff at Parsons Heath School.  As Team Rector I shall be an ex Officio member of the governing body and I look forward to working with the governing body and the staff.  I shall also look forward to getting to know the children, especially by taking assemblies and to forging closer links between the school and the parish.

 

I was one of the first women to be ordained priest in the Church of England 12 years ago which has meant me undertaking a pioneering role in womens’ ministry and developing relationships in the wider community from the perspective of ministry as a woman. 

 

I am married to Bryan, a retired primary school headteacher and a priest.
