A new role for Ayla

13/1/2022

Just before Christmas, on a chilly 22nd of December, the Bishop of Edmonton licensed our former curate, Revd Dr Ayla Lepine, as Assistant Priest at St Martin’s Gospel Oak.  This is a part-time role in addition to her full-time role at the National Gallery. Ayla will be working alongside the Vicar, Revd Carol Barrett-Ford (who some may remember as the thoughtful leader on our first Women’s Retreat at St Katherine’s Foundation in Limehouse) and the Curate, Revd Natasha Beckles. The ceremony was followed by a celebratory glass of Prosecco!

A group from Hampstead Parish Church went to support Ayla and to wish her every happiness in her new role.
