Bishop Brendan Leahy, Bishop of Limerick and President of Veritas,
the publishing company of the Irish Catholic Bishops’ Conference, has
released the following statement on the retirement today of Ms Maura
Hyland as Director of Veritas.
“On this milestone day for Veritas, I wish to acknowledge with
gratitude Maura’s thirty-five years of selfless service as Head of
Catechetics, Product Development Manager and, since 2000, as our
Director.
Maura’s work has been characterised by her love and deep
knowledge of catechetics and, through Veritas publications, Maura’s work
has benefited hundreds of thousands of primary and post-primary school
pupils, teachers and parents across the length and breadth of Ireland.
Maura was the first lay director of Veritas and throughout her career
has worked tirelessly to see the company develop in accordance with the
evangelising mandate for which it was established.
I look forward to
our continued friendship in the years ahead and I pray God’s blessing on
Maura for a happy and healthy retirement.”
