A new man is at the helm of one of Derry's most famous churches.
A large congregation last night witnessed the Institution of a new Rector in St Augustine’s Church, known as ‘the wee church on the walls’.
Reverend Malcolm Ferry has taken up the role.
Malcolm, his wife Carol and family will not have far to move.
Before taking up his new post Rev Ferry was Rector of the Waterside parish of All Saints Clooney.
During his time in this parish he oversaw the major renovation project of the All Saints Parish Centre and the development of a significant range of outreach programmes into the local community.
A wide range of family, friends, parishioners and colleagues from across the community attended the Institution Service.
It was also attended by Mayor Martin Reilly as well as two African bishops and Bishop John McDowell (Clogher diocese).
The preacher was Bishop John McDowell and the Service was conducted by Bishop Ken Good.
Reverend Ferry is pictured above (right) with Bishop Ken Good and Derry's Mayor Martin Reilly.
