- “We have sufficient priests to serve the needs of our diocese, urban and rural, in the years immediately ahead. However, the average age of our priests continues to increase,” he said.
- “We all need to promote and pray for vocations to the diocesan priesthood.Are there single men, of whatever age, who at this time are feeling that God might be calling them to serve as priests in our diocese? I believe God will provide for our needs from among ourselves.” Bishop Browne said.
As well as Fr Hanafin, the following priests having completed their six-year tenures and have been re-appointed to their parish; Mons Dan O’Riordan, Castleisland; Fr. Liam Comer, Dromtarriffe; Fr. Brendan Walsh, Causeway; Fr. John Buckley, Annascaul and Fr. Eugene Kiely, Ballyferriter.

There, he will join parish administrator Fr. Kieran O’Brien, Fr Niall Howard and Canon Pat Horgan as well as a number of retired priests who offer assistance with Masses and other services.The only other appointment is that of Fr.
