Bishop Peter Collins has expressed his most heartfelt appreciation for three long-standing diocesan clergy who are set to retire this autumn.

“Fr Peter Brett, who has just celebrated his 83rd birthday, was ordained on January 9, 1966, for the Redemptorists. Initial ministry in London and Liverpool was followed by a time in South Africa. We were grateful to receive Fr Peter into East Anglia in 2000, and he was incardinated as a priest of the Diocese a year later. Fr Peter oversaw the merger of the parishes of Sacred Heart and St Oswald’s in Peterborough before being appointed to Sudbury with Hadleigh in 2008.

“They have each served the Church with great fidelity and generosity in a multiplicity of scenarios. We offer them the assurance of our prayers and wish them a long and happy retirement.”
