Church House farewell for CMSI staff
The staff in Church of Ireland House gathered together on Friday 12th May for an informal reception to bid farewell to the staff from CMSI, who for the past 14 years shared accommodation in the current site on Donegall Street and before that in Talbot Street, Belfast. In recent years CMSI has grown and developed considerably and earlier this year they were in a position to purchase their own property to accommodate their growing needs.
At the reception Neill Wilson, Diocesan Secretary, paid tribute to the work done by CMSI and to the long association that Church House has had with them over the years. On behalf of both dioceses he presented Cecil Wilson, General Secretary of CMSI with diocesan plaques to take with them to their new premises.
Their new property, on the northern fringe of the city, is now ready for occupation and the big move out of Church of Ireland House took place on Monday 14th May. Their new address is: CMS Ireland House, 33 Dargan Road, Belfast BT3 9JU. T: (028)9077 5020.
