AFTER 12 months without a vicar, members of St Mary’s Church in Fishguard are delighted to welcome their new incumbent, the Rev Christopher Brown.

Rev Brown’s last parish was in the Manchester area, but he is no stranger to Wales as he was brought up in Cardiff, and many of his family still live here.

His licensing as vicar to the parishes of Fishguard, Llanychaer and Pontfaen will be on Friday, April 25 at 7pm in St Mary's Church.

It is hoped that many people from the area will be present to welcome him.
