CATHEDRAL - Key Persons
Job Titles:
- Hall Caretaker and Verger
The Church Secretary: Beth Rennick
Beth manages to squeeze an enormous amount of work into five morning sessions per week - her duties are something akin to keeping several balls in the air at the same time! She has been in the position since 2001 and is a friendly face of the church to all who visit the office.
Assistant Hon Treasurer - David Graham
David was appointed to the rôle in 2023 as the treasurer's job is particularly onerous and often thankless! He previously gave good service as one of the churchwardens. He is husband to Mandy, a faithful member of our choir.

- Webmaster and Assistant Projectionist
Job Titles:
- Director of Music and Organist

Job Titles:
- Chief Projectionist and Assistant Webmaster
Ronnie and his wife Anne and family have been members for a very long time. Every third Sunday he projects the words of the hymns and other material onto the screens in the church. But there is a lot more to it than that, because he has to spend a lot of time working with the computer software in advance, so that the sequence used in each service runs smoothly and correctly. He also acts as sound engineer and cameraman (within the cathedral and on-line) and co-webmaster- all told, a rather nerve-racking job!
Job Titles:
- Hon Secretary
- Honorary Secretary of the Select Vestry
A lifelong member of St. Macartin's, he was successful in obtaining a Bachelor of Theology (BTh) degree at Queen's University Belfast and is pursuing a call to ordination. Scott has also completed his training as a Parish Reader and was commissioned by the Bishop of Clogher on Wednesday 16th June 2021.
Job Titles:
- Honorary Secretary of the Select Vestry
Appointed as Sam's assistant in 2023, Stephen has served the cathedral for a long time as Scoutmaster and also as a member of our sadly diminishing faithful bellringing team.
