Meet the Team
Rev. Chris Mac Bruithin, Rector I’m the Rector of Christ Church and St Paul’s. Originally from North Antrim, I studied modern languages in Edinburgh and then trained as a teacher at the University of Ulster.
After some mission work with Latin Link in Bolivia, and while working as a lecturer, I sensed God’s call to ordained ministry. I came to the parish with my family in 2019, having previously served as deacon in St Augustine’s, Derry-Londonderry, and as curate in St Macartin’s Cathedral, Enniskillen.
I’ve found Castlerock and Dunboe a very easy parish to fall in love with, both the people and the place. It’s a busy parish, and there’s a great sense of teamwork and community. Shortly after I came, Covid severely impacted on our mission and ministry, but I am excited to see what God has in store for us as we look to the future.
McCall Gilfillan, Diocesan Reader
I grew up in Seattle, Washington State in the USA. I did my Bachelors degree in Ministry and Spiritual Formation (Educational Ministry) at Seattle Pacific University before meeting my husband and immigrating to N. Ireland in 1998. William is from Limavady and we have made our home in Downhill.
I am a professional artist, potter, and creative facilitator and love exploring the intersection of creativity and Christian spirituality.
I have been involved in children’s ministry for the last 20+ years. I am passionate about the importance of sharing the good news of what God has done for all humanity through Jesus with the next generation and helping them understand themselves to be an integrated part of a worshipping community.
Ministry Team Our team of Parish Readers and Pastoral Visitors assist in leading worship and connecting with those unable to attend.
