New Team Rector of St Mary’s Barnes Announcement

The Rev’d Calum Zuckert

We are delighted to announce that, in consultation with the Patronage Board, the Bishop of Southwark has appointed the Rev’d Calum Zuckert to be Team Rector of Barnes, subject to the usual legal formalities.

Calum is a Minor Canon in St Albans Cathedral in the Diocese of St Albans, having previously served his curacy at Winchmore Hill in the Diocese of London. He was ordained in 2019.
In his role in St Albans, Calum has responsibility for ministry to children and young people ‘up to age 40’ – according to his role description! While there, he has developed the Cathedral’s provision for young people, growing the staff and creating a dedicated children’s area in church. He has also led on large projects. Calum works in the Diocese as an Assistant Director of Ordinands, and in his time away from church enjoys conducting community choirs. Calum brings a passion for music, and a desire for the church to look out beyond our walls to the community beyond. In his spare time, he enjoys seeing friends, cooking, and flying light aircraft.

Calum comments,
“I am humbled and excited beyond measure to have been invited to serve among you as your Rector. My visit to Barnes was a fantastic day, and I have loved finding more out about you. Please pray for me during this season of preparation and be assured of my prayers for you.”

It is anticipated that Calum will move to Barnes towards the beginning of Lent and be instituted at St Mary’s in March 2025.
