Last Sunday, Fr Ian was ordained to the priesthood in Ennis.
Having spent his diaconate year serving among us at Galway Cathedral, Fr Ian has been a great blessing to our Dioceses through his generous ministry.
From all of us in the Diocese, we give thanks for his time here and assure him of our prayers as he begins this new chapter of priestly ministry.
May the Lord bless him abundantly, and may St Francis guide him always to live close to Christ, close to the poor, and filled with peace and joy. Amen.
From all at Galway Cathedral
