A native of County Wicklow, Ruth (nee Jackson) went to secondary school in King’s Hospital, Dublin and graduated from Business Studies in Dublin City University. After a year in Birmingham, she moved to Northern Ireland as a member of the community at the Christian Renewal Centre, Rostrevor, County Down and then to the Queen’s University Chaplaincy in Belfast.

Ruth was ordained in 2002 for a curacy in St Mark’s, Portadown. In 2005, she moved to Blarney, County Cork and, while there, completed a Masters Degree focusing on growing churches in the Republic of Ireland. She has been Rector of Mountmellick Group of Parishes since 2010. Ruth and her husband Alan (a native of Belfast) are looking forward to the move to Dublin in August.

Ruth loves growing vegetables, crochet, knitting and listening to podcasts. Unfortunately, despite growing up on a dairy farm, she discovered a few years ago that she has a non–life threatening allergy to dairy and soya products, and so always brings the dessert to social gatherings.

She succeeds the Revd Adrienne Galligan who became Rector of Rathfarnham in January.
