ANNOUNCEMENT
We are pleased to announce that, subject to successful completion of his training and other legal formalities, the Bishop of Fulham will ordain 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 then serve as Assistant Curate in our parish. Please make every effort to support Felix at his ordination and to welcome him warmly into our community.
Felix writes: ‘I am very pleased to be coming to serve my curacy with you all. I have greatly enjoyed worshipping at S. Silas and Holy Trinity in the past, and I am looking forward to getting to know you all, and to working alongside Fr Philip in the mission and ministry of the parish. I will be coming to you from Oxford, where I am in my third year at S. Stephen’s House. Before training for ordination, I studied history at Edinburgh and worked at a parish in East London as a pastoral assistant. However, I am looking forward to coming home to North West London, where I grew up, and getting started after my deaconing on 27th June.’
