A dip into the archives

Thursday April 9th 2020

As the lockdown to curb coronavirus continues, we thought we would dip into the Connor archives and bring you some memories of our not-so-distant past.

These photographs, in no particular order, are all from January to June 2007.

This period saw the election of the then Bishop of Connor, the Rt Rev Alan Harper, as Archbishop of Armagh, and the appointment of the Rev Canon Alan Abernethy, as Bishop of Connor!
