New Rector Appointed to Rathmines with Harold’s Cross
The Revd Rob Jones, his wife Dilys and their family.

The Revd Rob Jones has been appointed Rector of Rathmines with Harold’s Cross. Rob has been connected to the parish for the duration of his ministry having been Vicar of the Parish for the last seven years. Before that he served there on a part time basis for 18 months during his Curacy, which he also served in St Catherine’s. His appointment follows the retirement of Canon Neil McEndoo in June.

As Vicar of the parish, Rob has been leading the Holy Trinity fresh expression which has been running very successfully alongside the traditional parish services for almost seven years. Rob has also been involved in coordinating and developing the new Church of Ireland Third Level Chaplaincy Team.

Rob grew up in Dublin in the parish of St Bartholomew’s on Clyde Road. He attended University College Dublin where he studied science. Before he was called to ministry, he worked for Coillte and was seconded by them to work internationally in development projects with a number of overseas banks. He was ordained 10 years ago.

Rob has been married to Dilys for 15 years and they have two children, Ethan and Alannah.

He said he was honoured and thankful for his appointment as Rector. “I am very excited to be leading the fresh expression and now to be Rector of the Parish of Rathmines with Harold’s Cross. I am looking forward to developing this ministry further and to seeing our story unfold as these two churches unite and God intertwines our stories,” he said.
