Pastoral Care

The primary point of contact in the event of a pastoral emergency is the Rector, the Rev’d Brian Lacey, who can be contacted at brianlacey@stpeterbelfast.org or 02890 777053.

If the Rector intends to be away for two or more days, there will be a message on the rectory landline 02890 777053 which will explain who to contact instead. Usually this will be our Associate Minister, the Rev’d Andrew Irwin. He can be contacted at andrewirwin@stpeterbelfast.org or 02896 005015.

In some circumstances, our Lay Ministry Apprentice, Mr Robert Long, may be able to help. He can be contacted at robertlong@stpeterbelfast.org or 07535 775360.

In addition to those named above, we have a Pastoral Support Team who can provide spiritual support to you in person at the church, at home, in hospital, or over the telephone. Details of how to contact members of the Team will be made available soon.

If you or a loved one is admitted to one of the local hospitals, you should contact the appropriate Hospital Chaplain, as listed below:
