I warmly welcome the announcement today by the Holy Father Pope Francis of Father Raymond A Browne as Bishop of Kerry.
As a priest of the Diocese of Elphin, Father Browne’s ministry has
been marked by his profound spirituality and his innate sense of
pastoral outreach.
Father Browne has always exhibited a particular
strength and sensitivity when dealing with the vulnerable, marginalised
and lonely in our community.
He is a highly intelligent man and the
most approachable of pastors.
I wish him all God’s blessings as he
begins his new ministry as Bishop of Kerry.
I ask the faithful of Elphin, and all people of goodwill, to join me in prayerful support of Bishop-elect Browne.

Bishop of Elphin
