The Diocese of Kilmore will gain another priest this weekend when Rev Jordan Mac Gabhann is ordained.
The ceremony will take place in the Cathedral of SS Patrick & Felim this Sunday at 3pm, where Bishop Martin Hayes will perform the honours.
Fr Mac Gabhann's first Mass of Thanksgiving will be celebrated in the parish of Drumlane the following day. It will be said in St Mary's Church, Staghall, on Monday next, the Solemnity of the Navity of Saint John the Baptist, at 7pm. Originally from Ballyconnell, Rev Mac Gabhann was ordained a deacon by Bishop Hayes in 2023.
A native to the Diocese of Kilmore, Rev Mac Gabhann expressed his gratitude when ordained a deacon last year. Rev MacGabhann said: It is an exciting time to be ordained during this time of change, adding that he looks forward, most especially, to journeying with people during their significant life events of joy and sorrow, such as baptism, weddings, and bereavements.
