Cork Centre of Mission was launched in late 2021 and is based in Ballincolig, Cork and it is a partnership between Church Army, the Diocese of Cork, Cloyne & Ross and The Carraig Centre (Carrigrohane Union of Parishes) in Ballincollig.
Sarah-Louise Hockey works alongside Church Army Commissioned Evangelist, Matt Gould as part of the staff team at the Centre of Mission. Both Sarah-Louise and Matt have significant experience in youth work and together will be strengthening links with groups and individuals in the local communities to develop the outreach and worship activities of the Centre.

Matt tells us…’I am delighted to be working within the parish in the Diocese of Cork, Cloyne & Ross. At the heart of this project is an amazing community of Christians who are stepping out in faith to share the good news of Jesus here in Ballincollig. I’m excited to see what God has in store in the years ahead.’
Sarah-Louise tells us…’ I’m so excited to see how God will move in and through us as a church family as we continue to build up and invest in the lives of our young people. Our aim is always to engage with the wider community more deeply, building upon the roots that have been planted over the years and especially working to cultivate a place of belonging here for local teens who so often fall under the radar.’

The story of Cork, Cloyne and Ross goes back to the earliest days of Christianity in Ireland, and to the work of the early missionary saints, including Saint Fin Barre of Cork, Saint Colman of Cloyne, and Saint Fachtna of Ross, as well as the faithful men and women who responded to God’s call and announced the good news.
