Fr James Mary, Acting Rector of the Catholic national Shrine of Our Lady at Walsingham, will be completing his term in Walsingham at the end of July.

Fr James Mary started his ministry in Walsingham in June 2018, arriving from Dublin. Serving initially under Mgr John Armitage and then under Mgr Philip Moger, earlier this year he was appointed Acting Rector when Mgr Philip Moger left the Shrine to become an auxiliary Bishop of Southwark.

We give thanks for Fr James Mary’s ministry in Walsingham along with the ministry of all the OFM Conv friars who have served here. His presence and dedicated service will be greatly missed. We wish him well and offer our prayers for his next mission.
