Clontead parishioner appointed to new role in the diocese. 

Bishop Fintan Gavin has announced the appointment of Sheila Kelleher as Coordinator of Youth Ministry and Digital Communications in the Diocese of Cork and Ross. Sheila is based at the Diocesan Offices in Redemption Road.

She is from Clontead Parish and in recent years has worked with the Chaplaincy at UCC.

Youth Ministry is about supporting the outreach of families of parishes, colleges, and schools and “wherever two or three” young people gather, to bring the message of Christ to them in new ways. Sheila will work alongside those who are already involved in programmes for young people as well as helping those who wish to take first steps in this essential part of our mission.

Sheila’s role in communications will support the work already being done in this area and she will concentrate on helping the faith communities across the diocese to tell the Good News, especially using online means of communication.

I am happy to welcome Sheila and I encourage you to collaborate with her as she settles into her work with us. 

Sheila’s role will be part-funded by the diocese-wide second collection which previously supported marriage care and is taken up in November.
