Marinus van Meerten		Marinus joined the parish as assistant minister in April 2026. His primary responsibility is to oversee the congregation at St Augustine’s in San Remo. Marinus feels a deep sense of call to rural ministry and will be at the island the next two years as minister-in-training with Bush Church Aid. He longs to see the church on the island renewed and built up and to share the love of Christ with this community. He and his young family (two kids) live in Cape Woolamai and love going to the Church Island Farm and the back beach. See you around!
