Ordination of Fr. Kieran O'Reilly – 29th August 2010
650 Invitations have been allocated to parishioners across the diocese for this joyous occasion. The most recent population figures supplied by the parishes to the Diocesan Office were used to allocate the invitations pro-rata to each parish. Our parish has been allocated 3 invitations in the first allocation. We invite people who are interested in attending to submit their names to the Parish Office as soon as possible. The invitations will be allocated in a draw in as transparent a fashion as possible.
