The Reverend Judith Sweetman began as St Peter's curate at a special service of welcome in July 2007, following her Ordination at Chelmsford Cathedral.

Judith completed her two years of theological training at Westcott House, Cambridge, before coming to St Peter's in July 2007 to continue her ministerial formation.

During her welcome service in July 2007, Judith made her Church of England 'Declaration of Assent' (making promises about her ministry). Everyone joined in a reception after the service to welcome Judith and her husband Rufus.
