Revd Duncan Pollock, who is rector of Groomsport Parish, takes over from Revd Gerald Macartney. He was appointed by Bishop David who said:
“Duncan has done outstanding work during Covid–19 and is much loved in the Parish of Groomsport where he is rector. I am so pleased that the diocese at large will now benefit from his many gifts and his understanding of God’s wonderful grace for his church and for his world.”
