Fr. Simon is a parish priest in the Diocese of Northampton. After becoming friends with Sion Community founders Michelle and Peter Moran, he stayed at Sion's centre in Brentwood, near where he worked as a Careers’ Adviser. "The Community invited me to prayer," he says."Whilst I found the worship and use of the gifts of the Spirit a bit over the top, they spoke of Jesus as a friend and radiated joy. I aspired to the same and asked to be prayed with. In a very quiet, low-key way, I was baptised in the Holy Spirit. With a new sense of purpose, I joined the Sion Community and spent ten years with the youth ministry." Fr. Simon then felt a call to priesthood. He was ordained in 2008, and ministered with Sion Community for ten years. He now serves as a full-time parish priest at St Martin de Porres parish in Luton.
