New Appointments in the Diocese of Cloyne - Jan 2025

Bishop Wm. Crean, due to the untimely death of Fr. Robin Morrissey P.P. of Castletownroche (R.I.P) has appointed V. Rev. Peter O’Farrell P.P. of Milford to be P.P. of Castletownroche/Ballyhooly.

V. Rev. Francis Manning P.P. of Newmarket has been appointed Administrator of Milford Parish. He will be assisted by V. Rev. Anthony Wickham P.P. of Newtownshandrum and by V. Rev. Denis Stritch P.P. of Meelin.

These appointments take effect from January 11th 2025. We are indebted to all the priests involved in facilitating these new arrangements for the pastoral care of all the parishes. 

This new arrangement means that each of the three priests will now have nine church communities under their care. 

Your understanding and support will be greatly appreciated.

Bishop of Cloyne
