St Katharine’s Church, Savernake
Worship & visitor information
St Katharine's Church is a member of the Savernake Team, which is a benefice consisting of 11 Parishes (including St Katharine's). The Savernake Team and the Vale of Pewsey Team (15 Parishes) together form the Pewsey Deanery, which in turn is part of the Diocese of Salisbury.
We are delighted that we have been successful in recruiting a new Team Rector for the Savernake Team. The Revd Michael McHugh has accepted the offer of the post and it is expected that his licensing will take place in early July. He will be living at The Vicarage, Great Bedwyn, and will have particular responsibility for the cluster of Parishes which were formerly under the care of the Revd Rodney Harrison (now retired). We welcome Michael, his wife Jo and their children to the Savernake Team and look forward to the start of Michael's ministry among us.
Recruitment for the vacant post of Team Vicar (who will be living at The Vicarage, Burbage) will begin once the Revd McHugh has taken up his new role.
In the meantime, our Rural Dean, the Revd Mary Edwards, who is also a Team Vicar within the Savernake Team, will continue to lead our clergy team, in conjunction with her non-stipendiary colleagues.
During the period of these vacancies there may be some disruption to our normal pattern of services.
A service is usually held at St Katharine's on the first four Sundays of the month. For those months which include a 5th Sunday, a Sunday service is held either at St Katharine's or at one of the nearby Team churches.

There is plenty of parking outside the church. Please drive carefully as you approach the church as the road is very narrow and there are often children, horses, dogs, etc – not to mention other cars and the odd pothole - in the road.
