The Revd Simon Richardson has been appointed as
the new rector of St Malachy�s, Hillsborough. Simon
has been curate at St Malachy�s since 2006 and prior
to that he was assistant curate in Folkestone. He
succeeds the Revd John Dinnen, who retired on 31st
December 2007.
A date for Mr Richardson�s Institution at
Hillsborough Parish has still to be arranged.
A spokesperson for the Diocese of Down and Dromore
recalls: �It is a rare occurrence that someone
serving a curacy in a parish is then appointed
rector when the parish becomes vacant. We are not
aware of a similar instance of this happening since
1954 when the Revd Ernest Shepherd, who served his
curacy in St John�s, Whitehouse, was then appointed
Incumbent, where he remained until his retirement in
1996�. |
