Revd Mike Darbandi becomes Rector of Ballymacarrett

The exciting new plans for St Patrick’s Ballymacarrett took another step forward on Monday evening 13 April with the institution of Revd Mike Darbandi as Incumbent of the parish. Earlier in April, Mike and his family moved to Belfast following a clear sense of God’s call, in partnership with Bishop David and the Church Revitalisation Trust (HTB Network), to plant a new Resource Church in St Patrick’s.
