AdvertisementBISHOP of Limerick Brendan Leahy paid tribute to a number of beloved local parish priests who are retiring after many decades of tending to their flocks. He also expressed gratitude to those taking up new pastoral appointments in parishes across the county, many of whom will take up their new posts on September 5. Bishop Leahy added that the latest appointments reflect the Diocese’s continuing commitment to ensuring pastoral care for communities across Limerick while responding to changing pastoral needs. “The willingness of priests to move where they are needed enables us to continue serving our parish communities and proclaiming the Gospel throughout the Diocese. I ask parishioners to keep all our priests, particularly those beginning new ministries and those entering retirement, in their prayers.”
