On Saturday 1 March at 11.30am at Sheffield Cathedral, there will be a service of Thanksgiving and Celebration to mark the five years in which Bishop Sophie has served as the Bishop of Doncaster.
This is an opportunity for the Diocese to come together to celebrate Bishop Sophie and to share our appreciation for all that she has achieved during her time with us. Following the service refreshments will be provided. You are most warmly invited to attend – families and children all welcome.
Bishop Sophie, who was installed as Bishop of Doncaster in 2020, was consecrated a Bishop at York Minster on 21 September 2020 and installed as the seventh Bishop of Doncaster in Sheffield Cathedral on 24 September 2020. She was announced as the next Diocesan Bishop of Coventry back in November 2024.
