Bishop Hayes believes each parish will "retain its identity," yet in sharing their administration there will be opportunities to "work and grow together" in the future.

A number of changes have been announced for the Diocese of Kilmore.

Bishop Martin Hayes says the appointments this year mark the initiation of partnerships between parishes which are being formed out of an already existing cooperation between neighbouring parishes.

Bishop Hayes says the changes follow a year of consultation and reflection of the pastoral needs of the people of the Diocese.
