OUR NEW CURATE
We are pleased to announce that the Bishop of Fulham ordained Felix Trimbos on Saturday 27 June 2026 at S. Andrew Holborn to the order of Deacon in the Church of God. We are delighted that Felix will be serving as Assistant Curate in our parish. Please make every effort to support Felix and to welcome him warmly into our community.
Felix writes: ‘I am very pleased to serve my curacy with you all. I have greatly enjoyed worshipping at S. Silas and Holy Trinity in the past, and I look forward to getting to know you all, and to working alongside Fr Philip in the mission and ministry of the parish. I have come to you from S. Stephen's House, Oxford. Before training for ordination, I studied history at Edinburgh and worked at a parish in East London as a pastoral assistant. I am delighted to return home to North West London, where I grew up.'
