Our Rector, The Rev. Cathy Hallissey, leads with a rare combination of warmth, wisdom, and deep compassion for people of every age and story. Her ministry beautifully blends the richness of Church of Ireland tradition with fresh creativity and joyful everyday faith. She champions a church where doors are open, worship is thoughtful, and community is genuine. Cathy’s ministry encourages faith that is active, compassionate, and joyfully grounded in everyday life.

Thanks to her steady guidance, both St Patrick’s, Powerscourt and St Brigid’s, Kilbride continue to grow as vibrant expressions of God’s love at the heart of Wicklow.
