Introducing Fr David Bird
Father David Bird OSB • July 6, 2018
Fr David Bird returned to the UK after serving for a record 36 years in Peru. During those years he served as Assistant Pastor in Tambogrande, followed by three long stints as Parish Priest in Piura, Negritos and San Miguel de Pallaques in northern Peru, and finally as Superior of the Monastery of the Incarnation at Pachacamac. It has been very hard to pull himself away from the Community and the many friends and parishioners he got to know over the years.
Fr David who is now 81 is already taking a full part in community life, leading some retreats and doing some teaching in the monastery. He is a fine theologian and runs an excellent blog called "Monks and Mermaids." It's well worth a visit: you might become an addict.
