Rector instituted in St Mark’s
Revd Adrian Dorrian was instituted as rector of St Mark’s Dundela in the diocese of Down on Wednesday 28 March. Bishop Harold gave the address and Adrian’s friend and colleague from his days at theological college, Revd Gary McMurray, read the gospel.

Adrian is no stranger to the diocese having served a three year curacy in St Mark’s, Newtownards and chaired the Down and Dromore Youth Council. Adrian also led a diocesan youth team to Beaver Cross Camp in our link diocese of Albany in 2009. He was incumbent of St Peter and St James’ in the Diocese of Connor for almost three years before being appointed to St Mark’s.
This isn’t the only big event in Adrian’s life this year. He turned 30 this month and has plans to marry his fiance, Miss Anne Graham, in August.
We wish him every blessing as he takes up his new responsibilities.
