Ian is originally from Greystones in Co Wicklow. \u00a0He has spent the last ten years serving in the
\nBailieborough Group of parishes in\u00a0the diocese of Kilmore, where he is also an archdeacon.
\nHe is married to Jenny, and they have two boys called, Sam (12)\u00a0and Leo\u00a0(10).\u00a0\u00a0Ian loves music and
\nis no longer ashamed to say that he is a big Aston Villa fan!\u00a0\u00a0He has a passion for the Scriptures,
\nchurch renewal, youth and children\u2019s work, and he enjoys a good visit and chat over a cup of tea.
\nOn his move to Mullingar Ian says, \u2018It is with mixed emotions that we set out on a new adventure in
\nministry. \u00a0The last decade has flown by, and it will be\u00a0very\u00a0tough to say goodbye to the people of the
\nBailieborough Group, and to the people of the wider community. \u00a0We have been loved, supported
\nand looked after from day one, and we have been blessed to see God at work in the lives of young
\nand old in the parishes. \u00a0At the same\u00a0time,\u00a0we are excited to follow God\u2019s call to the Mullingar
\nUnion, and we already\u00a0have a strong\u00a0sense God\u2019s hand in this move. \u00a0So,\u00a0while we are sad to be
\nleaving the wonderful family home,\u00a0hometown, and church family\u00a0that\u00a0we\u2019ve been blessed with over
\nthe last ten years, we are\u00a0very much looking forward to\u00a0setting up in a new home later on in the
\nyear,\u00a0to meeting new friends, and to seeing what God will do\u00a0in our new church family.\u201d He
\ncontinued, \u201cI am grateful to Bishop Pat and to the people of the Mullingar Union for this new
\nopportunity to love and serve the\u00a0Lord and\u00a0value your prayers as we prepare to make the move.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
