Fr Phillip has now left us
'I have been appointed as the Priest-in-Charge to Holy Spirit Southsea and associate priest of St James Milton.
I am very pleased to be looking forward to this next chapter in my ministry but also very sad at leaving a church and area where our family and I have been very happy.
