Meet The Current Chaplain
The Revd Ricky Yates will be in resort from Tuesday 16-30 December.
Ricky was ordained in 1989 and, after a curacy in Hertfordshire, was the Rector of a group of village Churches in North Oxfordshire for over fifteen years. In 2008, he became Chaplain of St Clement's, Prague from where he retired in 2017. In his active retirement, he still lives in the Czech Republic, in the mountains adjacent to the German border. For the past ten years, he has had responsibility for providing English-language Anglican worship in the Dresden Frauenkirche, to which he commutes from his retirement home.
In December 2024, Ricky was the last minute stand-in Chaplain in Zermatt. He is very much looking forward to returning this year, this time with plenty of space in advance, to prepare for providing worship over the Christmas period.
Whilst not a skier himself, Ricky enjoys being in the mountains, celebrating being surrounded by the beauty of God's creation.
