Revd Anna Williams is introduced in Magheradroll

A joyful evening in a full and festive church as Revd Anna Williams was introduced as Priest-in-charge of Magheradroll Parish (Ballynahinch) on 5 December 2024. Revd Canon Follis, Rector of Hillsborough, Anna's home church, gave the address and, as well as family and friends, there were many supporters from Banbridge where Anna served her curacy. The choir sang an anthem and the contemporary worship was led by a trio of clergy colleagues from Anna's time at the Theological Institute.
