The Revd Bob Frew has been licensed as Vicar of the Caistor Group of churches. His Institution and Induction Service took place at Caistor Parish Church on 1 June 2026, conducted by the Bishop of Grimsby, the Right Revd Jean Burgess, with the Archdeacon of Stow.

The appointment was announced by the Bishop of Lincoln on 2 February 2026.

The Lincolnshire Rural & Agricultural Chaplaincy has appointed the Revd Catherine Wylie as the new part-time Agricultural Chaplain for Greater Lincolnshire, from 1 June 2026.

Catherine spent seven years as Associate Priest in the Caistor Group of Parishes, and continued to lead the group following the retirement of the vicar, the Revd Canon Ian Robinson.

We welcomed the Revd John Birkett to the Caistor & Kelsey Group of Parishes.

Harvest Festival was held on Sunday 13 October at 10.30am.

Caistor and Grasby churches both have fine peals of bells — Caistor has eight and Grasby six. What we are short of is ringers.

We practise on a Friday evening at Caistor at 7.30pm, and new ringers are always welcomed. It is a good way to keep fit and to learn something new.

We are a movement of over four million Christians in 84 countries worldwide. The Mothers’ Union is unique because our members work as volunteers in local communities, putting their faith into action by acts great and small, giving individuals in need a helping hand.
