Two new Canons were installed into the Chapter of St Saviour at a service in Lisburn Cathedral on Sunday March 9.
The Rev Andrew Sweeney was installed as Prebendary of Rasharkin and the Rev David Ferguson was installed as Prebendary of Cairncastle. David is rector of Ramoan and Culfeightrin, and Andrew is rector of the United Parish of Ballymoney, Finvoy and Rasharkin.
At the same service, existing Canons Peter Gabraith and Christopher Easton were installed to different roles in the Chapter, Canon Galbraith as Precentor and Canon Easton, who was unfortunately unable to attend the service, as Treasurer.
The Canons were installed by the Chancellor of Connor, the Rev Canon James Carson, and the preacher was the Bishop of Connor, the Rt Rev George Davison.
