New Council of Priests meets for initial meeting

14 March 2025

Newly formed Council of Priests

A new Council of Priests in the Diocese of Cork and Ross has had its inaugural meeting with Bishop Fintan Gavin.

The Council is consulted by the bishop on pastoral matters to do with the faith life of the diocese.

The majority of members are elected by the priests ministering in the 16 families of parishes. In addition, priests working in chaplaincies nominate a representative, as do the priests who are retired. The communities of religious priests ministering in the diocese are also represented (by Fr. Hilary OFM (inset)).

The Council meets bi-monthly with Bishop Fintan at Mardyke House, Cork.
