It is made up of some 77 parishes ranging from bustling urban churches in north and west Belfast to the rural parishes on the Antrim coast and even Rathlin Island. The diocese is divided into three Archdeaconries.
Rev Boal has been married to Beth for three years. Prior to ministry, he worked on the family farm alongside his parents.
He said: “I have a lot to learn so this year I’m looking forward to being formed into the person God would have me be to serve his Church faithfully.
“I’m looking forward to getting alongside the people of Mossley Parish and serving them and encouraging them in their faith and to connecting with the local community to share the hope of Jesus with them.”
