Associate Priest: Rev'd Alison Mitchell

SSM at St Elisabeth's

Hi, I’m Rev Alison, the SSM at St Elisabeth’s

I was ordained Priest, in June 2017, and I completed my curacy at Incumbent level. I trained at All Saints, part time,  following three years training in mission and ministry. I did this as well as working full-time as an early year’s teacher. Teaching is what I have done all of my working life, it is a job I enjoyed very much, and a job which I feel benefits my ministry using a lot of the skills I acquired.

Children’s work and families will become a focus of my ministry.

I grew up in Gorton and moved across the border into Reddish 31 years ago. I think you could call me local with a good understanding of the area! I live with my husband Tony, who is also the Church warden here at St Elisabeth’s. I like to play the guitar, I enjoy going on holidays, especially to warm, sunny places by the sea.  I also love socialising, chatting and catching up with friends.

I am looking forward what lies ahead for me, as the next part of this journey, getting to know lots of new faces and continuing serving you in Reddish.
