‘You did not choose me, but I chose you.’
For many years our Pastoral Assistant scheme has provided a way for young adults to explore the ministry to which Christ calls them. Each year we appoint three Pastoral Assistants to spend a year serving others by 
living, working, and praying in our three diverse parishes along with Hornsey Parish Church. It has proved a life-changing experience for these young people and given the benefits of new gifts and fresh insights to our churches. Pastoral Assistants get involved in all aspects of ministry here.
Pastoral Assistant placements also provide a steady stream of young ordinands to the wider Church. We offer excellent 
supervision, formation and guidance for those in the process of discernment and now work in conjunction with sister schemes in Camden and Tottenham to form the scheme called North London Pastoral Assistants.
Would you like to explore God’s call by spending a year living and working in an urban Parish in the Diocese of London?
The North London Pastoral Assistants website is a useful place to look if you are interested in exploring this role further.
