Father Harry Jevons joins the Three Rivers Mission Community

It is with great delight that my wife Doreen and I return to the South Hams. Having lived in the village of Malboruogh near Kingsbridge for almost thirty years, before moving to work in the Chichester Diocese West Sussex. It has always been our intention to return home when we could. I’m happy to say that time has arrived and it is with great joy that we come to serve in the new ‘Three Rivers Mission Community.’  Fr. John Ough the rector and I have known each other for some considerable time, having in the past, worked together on deanery summer residential camps for the children of this area. When we knew that John was looking for a colleague for Ermington and Ugborough, I had no hesitation in applying for the vacant post.

Doreen and I have two daughters both married with children, Rachel our youngest lives just outside Southampton and Sarah in Kingskerswell near Newton Abbot. Needless to say it will be good to see our grandchildren around the place!
We both enjoy walking and gardening, Doreen has many hobbies not least among them singing in a choir in Christchurch and the local church choir at Hordle, [a nearby small village.] I love cricket and football and played for many years. Also later as a referee in the South Devon league.
It is our hope that we will ‘move in’ during July, and begin work in August.
It is a privilege for me to be following such a long list of dedicated priests in this historical parish of St. Peter’s and to be able to serve this community.

I’m sure we will both hopefully get to know you all in the coming months, and that you will feel able to knock our door knowing that we are there for you for whatever reason. May God bless you all. 

 
Father Harry Jevons.
