THE new Archdeacon of Auckland will make his first visit to Darlington at the weekend.
The Venerable Ian Jagger will visit the church of All Saints and Salutation, in Blackwell, Darlington, on Sunday.
The visit will coincide with the church's All Saints' Day celebrations.
A special service led by Mr Jagger will be held on Sunday at 10.30am.
The church's vicar, the Reverend John Dobson, said: "Ian will be here with his wife, Ruth, and their son, Aiden.
"As usual, we will be celebrating our greatest feast day with a glass of wine after the service. That gives us all a wonderful opportunity to chat with Ian and his family and to show them how welcome they are.
"I'm always pleased at this time of year that we have a parish that is dedicated to all saints. It is a reminder to us that true saintliness is about ordinary people living faithful lives.
