Pastoral Assistants

Edith (or Edie) is a pastoral assistant at Holy Innocents. She grew up in the Midlands and arrived here via West Wales, where she worked in a care home and as a teaching assistant. She is exploring her vocation and is enjoying working with the local Grieg Academy and Hornsey food bank. She enjoys reading existential theology, swimming, and thinking of things to cook. 

Our sister church, Holy Trinity, also has a pastoral assistant, Patryk, who can sometimes be spotted in Holy Innocents. Patryk comes from Poland and converted to Anglicanism since moving to the UK. His professional background is in psychiatry. He enjoys reading Lacan, discos, and the spiritual practices of Eastern Orthodoxy.  

Edith and Patryk’s Pastoral Assistant colleague in the Hornsey scheme is Emily Clough. Emily is based at Hornsey Parish Church, working alongside Fr Bruce Batstone.
