A statement from the the Team Vicar of Loddon Reach Benefice, The Revd Paul Willis.
“Like everyone else, we are shocked and saddened by the news that the Revd Peter Jarvis has pleaded Guilty to the case against him and has been convicted of serious sexual offences.
“The offences took place before Mr Jarvis moved to this parish. He stood down from his ministry here as soon as the allegations came to light.
“We take the safeguarding of children, young people and vulnerable adults extremely seriously at Loddon Reach and will continue to ensure that we follow best practice according to diocesan guidelines.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone involved in this case.”
