Bishop of Meath Tom Deenihan
The Bishop of Meath the Reverent Tom Deenihan has announced clerical changes and appointments for 2025.
The Bishop said: ''Moving is a difficult experience for both priests and parishioners'' and the Bishop thanked the priests in question for their generosity He also encouraged parishes and parishioners to pray for and encourage vocations as without vocations, more parishes will be without priests in the near future. Bishop Deenihan will be visiting all Pastoral Areas during June to meet with priests and representatives of Parish Pastoral Councils to discuss how parishes can work together to ensure that Sacramental life remains and parishes retain their identity when there is no resident priest. He pointed out that currently over one third of the priests working in the Diocese are from outside the diocese on loan or are over the retirement age for priests which is seventy-five.
