As you may have heard via a letter sent to parishes recently by Bishop Julian, Lisa Moncur has been appointed as the Registrar of the Diocese of Blackburn and the Bishop’s Legal Secretary.
Lisa (pictured) was commissioned at Blackburn Cathedral at the end of May and began working with us at the beginning of June. She has been Registrar of the Diocese of Chester and will continue to serve that Diocese, making both Registrar roles her focus and full-time work. Alongside a Registry Clerk, Lisa will be based at the Diocesan Offices in Clayton House.
In his letter to parishes Bishop Julian pledged: “Once restrictions have properly eased there will be a bigger occasion at our Cathedral at which we will be able to introduce Lisa to the Diocese; give thanks for John Bullimore’s 30 years as Diocesan Chancellor and welcome David Hodge as his successor. We will also be able to express our thanks to Louise Connacher and Napthens for their very significant contributions to the Registry and the work of the Diocese in recent years.”
Speaking today Lisa said: “I am delighted to have joined the Diocese as Registrar at this time and look forward to the challenges that lie ahead. With our recently refreshed Vision 2026, I welcome the opportunity to serve the people and parishes of Lancashire in whatever way I can.”
