The United Benefice of St Mark Millfield and St Luke Pallion recently welcomed a new Priest-in-charge, the Reverend Olaf Eriksson. He has previously served as Assistant Curate at St Mary Cockerton in Darlington, and is married to Marie-Claire from Scotland. Olaf was licensed on February the 15th by the Right Reverend Tom Wright, Bishop of Durham. The licensing took place in a joyful service with family, friends and members of our two parishes present, as well as ministers from different churches in the diocese and ecumenical partners.
