THE VICAR

Fr. Ian Tucker – Priest in Charge

As the newest member of the parish team, being recently licensed here only in the spring of 2004, I am actually delighted to be part of a very active, enthusiastic and dedicated church community. The icing on the cake is the two quite beautiful churches we have in Par, and of course, the lovely coastal location we are privileged to live within here in Cornwall.

Par is my fourth appointment since I was ordained in 1989. All of my appointments have been in the West Country, and Par is the second within the County of Cornwall (Diocese of Truro).

In addition to the post of Priest in Charge, I am also Honorary Chaplain to the ‘Mission to Seafarers’ based within the Port of Par. The Mission to Seafarers is a world mission agency, which provides care for the practical and spiritual welfare of seafarers of all nationalities and faiths. As a commercial cargo port, Par handles vessels from all over the world, discharging and loading their cargo. The main export commodity from Par is china clay product for the paper making industry, the majority of which is extracted locally, and processed by Messrs. Imerys, a major employer within this part of Cornwall.
