Our Rector Originally from Cuba but coming to Scotland from Spain, Rev’d Heller Gonzalez became the Rector of St Augustine’s Dumbarton in May 2020.
Heller was ordained to the Priesthood in the Spanish Episcopal Church and was the first Priest for the lively Episcopal Church in La Coruña, which he previously established. Before Ordination, Heller was a radiographer. He also served for over five years as the Associate Priest for the Renfrewshire Heartland Group of Churches (St Mary’s Port Glasgow, St Fillan’s Kilmacolm, and St Mary’s Bridge of Weir).
In addition to his priestly ministry, Heller is a solemnly professed Cistercian in the life of the Diocese, holding the religious name of Br Fergus. His leadership brings sensitive and reverent worship of God, coupled with simplicity and gentle pastoral care which encourages us into a deeper faith.
