On Tuesday, 27th June 2023, people from across the Diocese of Cork, Cloyne and Ross were introduced to the work of Pioneer Ministry at a meeting in St Luke’s Home, Cork. Pioneer Ministry encourages, supports and releases volunteer and paid pioneers and new ministries to work in new places and in different ways across Ireland. The initiative is being led by a National Director, the Rev. Rob Jones, who visited Cork, Cloyne and Ross to speak about this new work in the Church of Ireland.

At the meeting, Bishop Paul Colton and the Rev. Rob Jones encouraged everyone to discuss steps on how Pioneer Ministry will practically work in the Diocese. For further updates and all the information about Pioneer Ministry please visit their new website – www.pioneerministry.org.
