Fr Rory Morrissey, who had been the parish priest at Herne Bay for 15 years, is parish priest. He is assisted by parish co-ordinator Eddie Eyre, part-time administrators in each church centre, a finance team, pastoral team, and administration team.
There is further assistance for Masses from priests and students at the nearby Holy Cross Seminary, the neighbouring John Vianney Home for retired priests and priests who live in the area.
