We welcome Fr Pat Larkin to the community of parishes in this pastoral area. Each parish in the pastoral area will effectively have two parish priests and parishioners are welcome to contact any priest in the cluster when arranging weddings, baptisms, funerals, anniversary masses and month’s mind masses.
As Fr David Carroll finishes his time of ministering in this Cluster of Inis Cealtra, we thank him for the support and ministry he has shared with us since last December. Not a stranger to this area of the Diocese, he has added much to the service among us.
The Diocesan changes which were announced during the month of June will be taking effect on Friday August 15th. As we know Rev. Pat Larkin will be taking up residence in Scariff as Co-PP in this Cluster of Inis Cealtra. The current schedule of Masses on weekends throughout the Cluster / Pastoral Area will continue as currently arranged for all the six parishes across Inis Cealtra.
