The mission and ministry of the ECC and the church of St Bernadette is to love and include everyone!

Truthful and unrestrictive inclusion

- as Christ intended it to be.

God is here for all of us - but how we access Him is

highly subjective and totally personal. As a Holy Jurisdiction, naturally we are here for those who are looking for a priest to conduct a loving service and offer the Holy Sacraments. However we are also deeply concerned with the offering of practical and loving Christian support for all groups and individuals. We especially want to be there for those who are hurt or broken by prior spirtual experience or for those who feel marginalised or forgotton. Many people want to live a Christian life but feel unconnected with existing places of worship.

Some of us have thriving and active Parishes serving the local and wider communities. If you are not a member of a church community, we know that it can be extremely hard to access a priest simply as an ear for you. Whatever you may be looking to speak to a priest for, please contact me. I will help you as much as I can.

If you are faced with an emergency I have contacts (both within my church and ecumenically) with fellow clergy across the whole of Britain, which means I can quickly link you to a priest as local to you as possible.

I was ordained in 2001 and now incardinated within the Ecumenical Catholic Church, a church which is Catholic but without the attachment to Rome, with a strong sense of ecumenism. Our Holy Orders as a collective of clergy are all rooted in the teaching of the historic Church, enshrined in the Catholic Creeds and the teaching of all the Ecumenical Councils of the Christian Church. The doctrine of the ecumenical movement is the cooperation and better understanding among different religious denominations, aimed at universal Christian unity. In other words, we are all, quite simply, Christian.
