The Revd Mark Harvey to become a Canon of Dromore Cathedral
Mark said: “It’s an honour to have been invited by Bishop David to join the chapter of Dromore Cathedral, both personally and on behalf of Shankill Parish. I look forward to working alongside Dean Geoff Wilson and my colleagues on the chapter to further the ministry of the cathedral in our Diocese as we proclaim the good news of the Gospel and seek to extend the Kingdom of God.”
Since ordination in 1993, Mark has served in St. Columba’s, Portadown, as Curate Assistant, as incumbent of the Monaghan Group of Parishes (1996–2001) and St Mary’s Ballybeen (2005–17) and also on the staff of CMS Ireland (2001–05). He became rector of Shankill in June 2017.
Before moving to Dromore Diocese Mark was a canon of Down Cathedral (2015) and served as Clerical Honorary Secretary of Down. He is married to Joanne, and they have a daughter, Lydia. Prior to ordination, he worked as a primary school teacher in Bangor.
