PUBLIC MEETING to learn about the plan to include St Peter’s church in a much wider “Benefice” group

A Public Meeting has been arranged for everyone to come along and learn about these plans – on Friday 25th October at 7.00pm in the Village Hall.

As many of you know, St Peter’s church has been without a dedicated Rector for over 7 years. New draft proposals would see us becoming part of a larger “joint benefice”, to include the parishes of Peter Tavy and Mary Tavy, Bere Ferrers, Brentor, Gulworthy, Tavistock and Whitchurch.

(A “Benefice” is one or more parishes served by an incumbent priest. For many years, Peter Tavy has been a”joint benefice” with Mary Tavy – and sometimes other parishes too.) The seven parishes in the draft proposal would share a Rector, Vicar and other clergy. The draft proposal is now available and everyone – church goer or not, resident of the parish or not – is entitled to make comments in a wide consultation about the plans. Find out more here>
