FAREWELL TO FR. DECLAN & FR. DAVID

This weekend we sadly say farewell to both Fr. Declan O’Connor & Fr. David Gunn, who are leaving us.  Fr. David will be taking up his new post as Parish Priest of Ballinskelligs and Fr. Declan will be Parish Priest of Listowel.  We thank them both for the service they have given to the community while here.  Now a Cork man is going to replace these two Kerry men! On Wednesday next (21st July) Fr. John Fitzgerald who was Parish Priest of Abbeydorney will take up his appointment in Millstreet. We take this opportunity to wish them all every blessing for the future.
