New Vicar named

We are delighted to announce that the Reverend Andreas Sistig has been appointed  the new Vicar of Bagshot. 

Andreas grew up in Germany and met and married Jenny in South Africa while on a training course. Andreas and Jenny were ordained into the Anglican Church of South Africa and both held ministry posts there before moving to Fleet where Andreas has been Associate Vicar since 2008. They have two school-age daughters. 

Jenny is also an ordained priest, working in two part-time roles as a chaplain, and will be a non-stipendiary curate at St Anne's. 
It is expected that Andreas will commence his ministry at St Anne's in early September.
