COMMISSIONING OF PASTORAL LEADERS
This weekend Bishop Ray Browne will commission 25 people as Pastoral Leaders at 12 noon Mass in St. Mary’s Cathedral, Killarney. This is a new ministry in the Diocese and the ministry involves the co-ordination and support of Pastoral Ministry in Parishes and Pastoral Areas. The volunteer pastoral leaders will work with the clergy, parish secretaries and all those already in Parish Ministry. The Pastoral Leaders will be commissioned for three years. All are welcome to attend the Mass in the Cathedral or join online on killarneyparish.com/watchlive.
On behalf of the Parish, I extend congratulations to Edel Fraser who will be commissioned from our Parish, and I thank her most sincerely for her continued commitment to our Parish.
