The Vicariate for Clergy
Mission Framework

The Priest Vicariate

Bishop David has created three vicariates as a framework for the mission of our diocese and in particular, for our diocesan curial agencies and departments to identify themselves as part of Christ’s Church across the counties of Northamptonshire, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire and the bit of Berkshire which is Slough.

The Priest Vicariate consists of all those areas of our diocese which support, promote and care for our clergy and religious. 

“The way forward is to go back to the source, to do what we are called to do, to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ and strive to build the Kingdom of God in Northamptonshire, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire and the bit of Berkshire which is Slough”

Bishop David Oakley, July 2021
