Deacon Ronan Sheehan will be ordained to the priesthood by Bishop Fintan on Sunday 18 September at 3:00pm in the Church of Saint John the Baptist, Newcestown
Ronan is a native of Newcestown and is son of Bud and Denise Sheehan and has four sisters. He was ordained a Deacon this time last year and completed his seminary training at St. Patrick’s College, Maynooth.
He will celebrate his first Mass in his native parish on Monday and will receive an appointment from Bishop Fintan in due course to serve as a priest of our diocese.
Let us accompany him with our prayers today and keep all priests in our prayers.
