With exceeding great gladness, the Bishop of Oswestry shares the news, recently announced, that the Revd Dr Owen Edwards has been appointed Vicar of S. Michael's Penwerris and Interim Priest-in-Charge of S. George's Truro in the Diocese of Truro. These are parishes which have long lingered in interregnum but which now look to the future with confidence, ambition, and vigour. Ss. Michael, George, Piran, Petroc, and all the saints of Cornwall, pray for Fr Edwards, his family, and these dear parishes!
