Vicar The Reverend Meurig Williams arrived in Mallow in recent weeks to take up his new post at St. James s Church in Mallow, replacing Canon Eithne Lynch who retired in August 2019.
Rev Meurig was born in sight of the mountains of Snowdonia in the city of Bangor in northern Wales. Rev Meurig recalls that this part of the world would be known by many Irish people leaving the port of Holyhead en route to London.
His mother came from a farming background while his father s people were all coalminers which, he says, is a classic Welsh upbringing.
Meurig s home language was Welsh as well as English which drew him towards other languages and in particular French. In the 1980s while studying languages in university he did a course in Breton and was so delighted to learn on his arrival here that Mallow was twinned with Treguier in Brittany.
