Fr Phillip Shryane has retired after more than 50 years of devoted priestly ministry, a journey that began in June 1975 and concluded with his well-earned retirement in February 2026.
It was a sad moment for the parish of St Michael the Archangel in Huntingdon as they bid farewell to a much-loved priest. To mark the occasion, the congregation gathered for a well-attended international lunch at the Commemoration Hall. The celebration brought together past and present parishioners, fellow clergy, and members of Fr Phillip’s family, reflecting the wide and lasting impact of his ministry.
Over the years, Fr Phillip has served in a number of parishes, including St Mary’s in Great Yarmouth, Gorleston, and the communities of Acle and Caister, as well as in Bury St Edmunds. He also spent time on sabbatical in Siem Reap, Cambodia, an experience that further enriched his priestly life.
During his time in Huntingdon, the congregation grew significantly, a testament to his dedicated pastoral care and welcoming spirit. He will be greatly missed by all who have had the privilege of knowing him.
The parish community in Huntingdon extends its heartfelt thanks and prayers, wishing Fr Phillip a long, healthy, and happy retirement.
