Who am I?

My name is Kenny Hanna and I have just been appointed as the Presbyterian Church in Ireland’s first rural chaplain. Having grown up on a farm in the Mournes, and continuing to farm part-time, farming is in my blood.

What am I here to do?

I am a trained pastor, with 20 years experience serving Jesus in rural communities. As a farmer myself, I am here to listen to and support farmers and their families in the ups and downs of rural life.

Who am I here for?

Absolutely everyone, from any background.

Where will you find me?

I am covering all of County Armagh and most of County Down. You will find me at the livestock markets in these areas, especially Downpatrick, Rathfriland, Hilltown and Markethill. If you so wish, I am also happy to visit you in your own home, or meet you wherever you feel comfortable.

Where can I find out some more about your work?
