The Parish is pleased to welcome The Very Revd Canon Jonathan Munn as Dean and Priest in Charge of the Cathedral Church of St Augustine of Canterbury, Painters Forstal, Kent. Father Munn, who until recently served as Dean of the Northern Deanery in the Diocese, (and who also serves as Secretary to the Diocesan Board of Ministry and Education) has recently relocated back to his native Kent , to take up a teaching position at a school in a nearby town. Now safely moved into his new home in Faversham, the Bishop will install Fr Munn as Dean of the Cathedral at a service on Low Sunday (the Sunday after Easter) 27th April 2025.

Bishop Mead, St Augustine’s founding Rector, will be able to relinquish his duties as Rector and focus on his role as Diocesan Bishop through this appointment. The Venerable Raymond Thompson, Archdeacon and Honorary Assistant Priest at St Augustine’s, will continue to provide his invaluable assistance.
