Public meeting as four Leitrim parishes could become one
The meeting will concern the re-organisation of four parishes in which 13 churches sit
A public information evening regarding the re-organisation of four Leitrim parishes will take place in St. Clare's Hall on Wednesday night, September 16 at 8pm.
Regarding the information evening, a statement in Sunday's Cloonclare/Killasnett Newsletter states “there is going to be an information evening for our cluster of parishes on Wednesday 16th September at 8pm in St Clare’s Hall (Future Cast), Carrick Road, Manorhamilton.
“This involves four parishes – Cloonclare/Killasnett, Kinlough, Glenfarne and Ballaghameehan – in which there are 13 Church areas and at present five Priests. We need to think about the future and plan ahead.
“The life and mission of each parish belong to the whole faith community and each person has gifts that can help our parish grow and thrive into the future. This very important information evening will explore the renewal of parish life, the role of the Pastoral Council and other ways in which parishioners can become involved.
“We are in a time of rapid change. Priests are getting fewer. Some Parishes will have no resident Priest. How can our Parish continue to grow, become more welcoming and respond to new needs? How can we build a more vibrant and active faith community?” the Cloonclare/Killasnett Newsletter statement asks in conclusion.
