Farewell ‘Titch’

This morning we said farewell and thank you to our Curate, Rev Geoff Hamilton, as he leaves to start a new role as Mission Director of SAMS (South American Mission Society) Ireland.

‘Titch’ has made a huge impact since he arrived in the Cathedral last October, with young people, the elderly and everyone in between. He will be greatly missed but we are sure everyone is thankful for his ministry among us over the last few months.

From all of us at the Cathedral, Geoff, we wish you God’s blessings in the next chapter.
