From the Archdeacon of Knowsley and Sefton
“I am delighted to announce that Bishop John has approved the appointment of Rev Dr Louis Johnson as interim vicar of St Faith’s and St Mary’s for the next 3 years.
Born, raised and schooled in Liverpool, Louis read Music at Churchill College, Cambridge, and received his Master of Music and PhD in Music (Composition) from the University of Liverpool. He has also taught in the music departments at Liverpool Hope University, and the universities of Liverpool, Cardiff and Bristol, He was ordained in Liverpool in 2020 and served his title at St Luke’s in the City and is currently associate priest of Lancaster Priory in Blackburn Diocese.
Louis is an Everton fan, enjoys running, playing football, walking the family's dog - a Border Terrier puppy called Benedict - and eating a variety of food, especially a chippy tea! He is married to Christine.
The interview panel are very pleased with the outcome of this discernment process and thank everyone for their prayers. We are hoping to arrange an installation service at some point in the autumn and we will keep you informed. Please do keep Louis and Christine in your prayers as they prepare to say goodbye to Lancaster Priory and arrive in Crosby and Waterloo.”

“I’m really looking forward to working with the whole team, and I can’t wait to get to know the parishes, and the communities which they serve and are part of. It will be a privilege to live, serve, and work with and alongside you all in the mission and ministry that God is calling us into, sharing in the many ways that God is blessing the people of Waterloo and Crosby, sharing in the love of God that is Jesus, and journeying together, in the power of the Holy Spirit, into the future, along The Way."
