Bishop Fintan made a pastoral visit to Bantry Parish for the first time on last weekend. He celebrated Mass and was warmly welcomed by parishioners and the extended parish team in Bantry.
As it is geographically the third largest parish in the country, he got a full tour of this scenic parish in West Cork.
