The Order of St Ethelbert - The 2025 nominations
Nominations for this year's Order of St Ethelbert Awards has been extended to Thursday 10 July 2025 at 5pm. The Order was founded in 2015 to recognise and honour women and men from the parishes of the diocese and beyond who have supported and nurtured the Christian ministry of the diocese in many devoted ways. The Order is presented to the recipients by the Bishop of Hereford in Hereford Cathedral at a special service of dedication each year. The recipients receive a signed certificate from Bishop Richard, a St Ethelbert medal and ribbon and a copy of the book St Ethelbert, King and Martyr.
"We're hoping that extending the deadline will encourage further time for parishes to make nominations", explains Bishops Chaplain, Rev'd Jane Plackett-Ferguson. "This is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the lives of those dedicated, humble, quiet servants of our many parishes."
If you're looking for details of the award and nomination form, please visit our dedicated webpage and email a copy of the completed form to Rev'd Jane, Bishop's Chaplain.
