The Rev. Tom Percy Wood, who begins his new work in the Morialta parish this week, is an old St. Peter's boy, and received his theological training at St. Barnabas's College. He was ordained deacon and priest by Bishop Harmer 1902-1904 in St. Peter's Cathedral. He served curacies at Goodwood and Mitcham before becoming rector of Laura (1905-1910). He then became rector of Strathalbyn, from whence he went to Gawler. He served as chaplain to the A.I.F. in the Great War, and has always been a staunch friend to returned men. Mr. Wood is the only son of the Rev. T. Wood, now retired and living at Walkerville, though doing occasional duty. For several years he has been assisting with the summer ministrations of St. Augustine's, Victor Harbour. Mrs. T. P. Wood was formerly Miss Fanny Newbury, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Newbury. Mr. and Mrs. Wood have four sons, two of whom have taken up land at McGillivray, Kangaroo Island. Mr. Wood's new parish consists of Morialta (Norton's Summit), Montacute, and Uraidla. Marble Hill is in the parish.
