BISHOP DENIS NULTY ANNOUNCES DIOCESAN CHANGES
“In announcing the diocesan changes for 2015 in the Diocese of Kildare & Leighlin, I pay tribute to the ownership and loyalty to parish that is much in evidence as I continue to visit the many parishes in our diocese.
When a priest is invited to consider a change, a move, a new appointment, he will understandably experience a raft of emotions and reactions. I sincerely thank the thirteen priests involved in this year’s set of appointments for their dedication and loyalty to their parishioners and to the diocese. To those who are retiring or stepping aside this year from more arduous administrative duties, I thank you for the huge commitment you have brought to your parish or diocesan appointment. To those who are newly appointed as Parish Priests I wish you every blessing as you take on pastoral leadership in these challenging times.
Parishioners love their parish and their priests. I am aware that change is never easy for priests or people and I ask the Lord’s blessing on the priests and the parishes that are involved in this year’s changes. The new appointments are all to come into effect on September 1st 2015.”
Bishop Denis Nulty
