DIOCESAN APPOINTMENTS – Bishop Fintan writes – This year, despite the small number of appointments it was difficult to fill appointments. 31 parishes out of 58 have no resident priest under 75. Currently, we have 52 incardinated priests in active ministry under the age of 75. In 2030 we will have 41. In 2035 we will have 27. In 2040 we will have 22.
It is not possible to continue to sustain the level of pastoral care we currently provide in the 58 parishes and 15 pastoral areas. In the coming year and beyond we need to address this to be able to provide a structure to continue to offer pastoral care and for the well-being of clergy, volunteer ministers and all involved in faith related activities.
