Who’s Who?

Ministry Team

  • Vicar – Rev Canon Steve. Steve has lived in Prestwich since 2001, and is Inter-faith Advisor in the Diocese of Manchester – though he says the biggest inter-cultural divide he has ever had to cross is the one between the Manchester of today and the Liverpool of his youth!  He remains Vicar of St Gabriel’s, in Sedgley Park, and co-chairs the Manchester branch of the Council of Christians and Jews.  You can contact him on revsteve@stmargaretsprestwich.com
  • Associate Priest – Rev Sue. Sue has been a member of the parish since 2013, and clergy since 2018. She enjoys walking and being with her grandchildren. You can contact Sue at RevSue@StMargaretsPrestwich.com or 07761565428
  • Curate – Rev Helen. Helen joined us in July 2023, and you can contact Helen at RevHelen@StMargaretsPrestwich.com or 07899800649

Fundraising

Our churches rely on the generosity of their congregations for their very existence. There are no government subsidies, nor is there financial support from the diocese – in fact it is parishes like ours that support the diocese.
