The Revd Jessica Piper has been appointed to the role of Associate Minister for the parish of Stockport St Mary, Stockport St Thomas and Brinnington St Luke.
Jess will take up her post in Stockport sometime over the summer and will take a lead on ministry among children, families and schools across the parish.
The Revd Ian Rumsey, Vicar of Bowden parish where Jess is currently, says: "Our congratulations go to Jess on her new appointment, but we will miss her very much when she leaves us. We have been privileged to have been served by such a warm-hearted and talented curate. Our love and prayers are with Jess and her family as they prepare for her move."
