Revd Kate Wakeman-Toogood – Vicar

I grew up in Birmingham and went on to study Mathematics at the University of Leicester. I travelled in East Africa and then moved to Manchester to study as a Maths teacher.
I trained for ordination at Ripon College Cuddesdon and was ordained in 2014 in Lincoln Cathedral. Serving my curacy in Louth in Lincolnshire, I understood further study in Theology.
Before coming to Earley St Peter’s, I served as Chaplain of Reading Blue Coat School and as Associate vicar of the Parish of Charvil, Sonning. I am passionate about prayer and encouraging others in their own journeys of faith.
I am an enthusiastic musician, mainly as a singer but also enjoying playing the violin and piano. I am also part of a local drama group. I am married to Lawrence and we have three sons. I’m also an animal lover and we have a dog, a cat and guinea pigs.
