On Saturday 4th December 2021 we welcomed our new priest, Bishop Robert Hardwick, and his wife, Lorraine. Bishop Rob has recently retired as Bishop of the diocese of Qu’Appelle in Saskatchewan, Canada. He was commissioned as resident priest at St Ninian’s by our Bishop, Most Rev Mark Strange. The service was followed by a ceremony in Balnain Hall with speeches of welcome and refreshments.
