The Reverend Louise Anderson

Louise joined the St Aidan’s team in 2018 as Priest Associate, and brought with her a particular gift of walking alongside people through their various chapters of life. Louise was appointed Vicar in 2021.

Her previous background in teaching shone through as she supported the many small groups operating in the church, and she loved connecting with people of all ages.

Sarah joined Louise as Co-Vicar in December 2024.

Louise has now retired from St Aidan’s, with her final Sunday on 23^rd February 2025. We wish Louise every blessing as she begins this new chapter of her life in retirement.

Loving God, we entrust Louise into your care
And ask your blessing upon her as she continues her journey,
Knowing that you are always the faithful traveller
and companion on the way.
We praise, recognise, celebrate, and give thanks
For Vicar Louise’s ministry and mahi – to, for, and with us.
We celebrate all we have shared with her,
We give thanks for all that she is, and has given us.
We give thanks for all the energy, joy, and deep compassion she has shared with us.
And the chance to share some of life’s journey with her.
Louise, our aroha and prayers go with you.
You will always be a part of our St Aidan’s whānau!
Amen
