Diocese Of Kerry To Host Annual Public Talk

.

THE Diocese of Kerry will host the annual Public Talk in The Gleneagle, Muckross Road on Wednesday January 9 at 8pm.

Bishop Brendan Leahy of Limerick Diocese will speak on “A Church of the Future”. He has written on themes such as: peace and forgiveness; faith questions; ecumenism; and spirituality.  Entry is free and all are welcome.

Bishop Brendan Leahy was born in the Rotunda Hospital, Dublin on March 28, 1960. He is the third of four children born to Maurice and Treasa Leahy, both of whom originated in West Kerry and were teachers in Dublin (in the 1940s Bishop Brendan’s father taught for a year in Athea, Co. Limerick where he is still remembered for the football skills he exhibited in the local team that won a championship at that time).

Though a “Dub”, Brendan realises there is much of Kerry in him as he spent long periods each year in Ballyferriter.
