Arklow, Inch and Kilbride

On Wednesday, 17th June 2026, eight clergy of the Church of Ireland stepped out of the morning sunshine and into the Church of Ireland Theological Institute formerly the Theological College. It was a place very familiar to them as they had come to cast their minds back forty years to the time when they had left that same place for ordination and future parish ministry. Among the eight was an Archbishop, a Dean, and an Archdeacon. Three were still in active ministry, while the rest had a few years of retirement behind them, but all had one purpose; to be reunited again in fellowship and to give thanks to Almighty God for allowing them the privilege of ministry over many years.
