The parishioners of St Cuthbert's were thrilled when Archbishop Kay confirmed that The Venerable Julie Baker, Archdeacon of Bunbury Cathedral, had accepted the position of Rector of the Parish of Darlington-Bellevue. It has been postulated that it could be the shortest interregnum in the history of the Perth Diocese! The wardens and nominators are very confident that parishioners and the wider community will appreciate qualities in Julie that are important to our congregation:  an engaging   personality, an impressive range of administrative experience, a sharp intellect and an excellent sense of humour.

 We hope that you will welcome Julie and her family by joining with us, community leaders and visiting clergy at St Cuthbert's for the commissioning service by Bishop Kate Wilmot at 7pm on Thursday 28 July.  The Choir of St Cuthbert’s will sing a Communion Anthem at the service.

 Of course, there will be a delicious supper and champagne afterwards.
