On Sunday 14th June 2026, we gathered as a community to say a special and heartfelt farewell to the Reverend Dr Mark Barwick, on the occasion of his retirement, and to David Cowley.

We were delighted that the Malagasy community was also there to share in this milestone. We are deeply grateful to Mark and David for their years of dedicated ministry, leadership, and friendship at St Alban’s. It was wonderful to celebrate them together and to wish them both every blessing for the future.

A warm thank you to everyone who attended, and to all those who helped organize and set up everything to make this day so memorable. Please enjoy a few photos from this joyful celebration.
