Rector: Rev'd Angie Stanton

Hello, I’m Rev’d Angie.

I was appointed and licensed to be Priest-in-Charge of St Elisabeth’s in May 2008; it was my first parish, having finished my training, while serving as a priest in the parish of Atherton. I soon grew to enjoy Reddish, both the church folks and the people of the town, and still feel very settled here.

I’m not local, I was born in Preston, so I’m a Lancashire Lass, and had a very happy time at school there. I’m the eldest of 5 children, we were all good at sports, and sport remains one of my passions – sadly now I watch more than I play – netball, football, cricket, tennis, rugby and athletics. I’m a Liverpool fan – yes, even around here.The job of being parish priest is both diverse and busy; I love being involved with all the people who come to church, and it’s a wonderful privilege to be invited into the lives and homes of so many local families at important times of celebration or loss.

When I have a chance, I love to go walking, especially on beaches and cliffs, and to develop the garden I have been creating for a few years. I’m not really a pet lover, I prefer wild animals and birds, and can spend very peaceful moments watching them. I live with Sian, and after 10 years together we celebrated our Civil Partnership on a very happy day in August 2011.

Assistant Curate: 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 2019, and I have just 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 25 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.
