Bishops Justin and Eleanor are deeply saddened to share the news that Reverend Robyn Appleby passed away peacefully on Friday 29 October following a very recent cancer diagnosis only a few weeks earlier. Robyn was ordained deacon then priest in 2020, serving in All Saints, Palmerston North parish. Robyn also served as an NZCMS Mission Partner at Msalato Theological College in Dodoma, Tanzania.

We ask you to uphold her family and church community in your prayers at this time.

A memorial service will be held in due course.

May she rest in peace and rise in glory.
