Help save Father Johnathan and Vicar Karina Green the priests of St Francis, St Claires and St Albans Church

Is nothing safe from austerity, cut backs. These people are invaluable to people in the community. It's not just people of the same faith that go to them for help. They are an asset, a community resource. They should be acknowledged, recognised, protected and kept for the sake of the communitys well being. Too many resources have been cut, charities can't cope. They are needed. Whilst I'm not at all religious I worked alongside their predecessors for many years on the estate. Their support is invaluable and the communitys need and respect for them is priceless.

Stop tearing our communities apart. Try cutting the top knobs wages who do nothing for the community and give it to those that really do make a difference doing a meaningful job.

Please don't let them go

Please keep them in there jobs

Father Johnathan has worked tirelessly in the community and through the local schools. It would be a huge loss to the community as a whole to be without their parish priests.

We need these people working in our community, for many they are a life line

Lets fight to keep these amazing people

Any body that helps someone always needs a hand to

Father Jonathan would be greatly missed. He is such an inspiration to the community being heavily involved with schools and the scouting community. Please rethink this decision.

Father Johnathan christened my eldest daughter At st Francis church , where are people supposed to go for this and weddings etc without a vicar?

A much loved member of the community.

This would be a great loss to the local schools and the community

Karina works tirelessly for St Alban’s School, both as a priest, a governor and a friend to the school. She is irreplaceable.

They both need to stay both such dedicated people to the community they do a lot for our community also life wouldn’t be the same with out them

As a former teacher in the area, father Jonathan has bought so much joy to the children by bringing religion into their lives in an engaging and creative way. It would be a travesty to lose him from st Francis.

Amazing people hope none of them is made redundant as this would be a great loss for the community!

Would not like to see these wonderful human beings made redundant

Unbelievable. How can they do this?

If our church closes where are we supposed to go to church our church has a lot to offer it is family friendly
