PORTMARNOCK PARISH – NEW APPOINTMENTS

Mgr. Peter Briscoe, formerly Parish Priest of Sandymount, has been appointed Administrator in the Parishes of Portmarnock, St. Sylvester (Malahide), Sacred Heart (Yellow Walls) and St. Nicholas of Myra (Kinsealy).  Whilst these Parishes will continue to operate independently, we now have to recognise that Parishes working together are going to be the template of ministry in the future for our diocese.  Fr. John Murphy, formerly Parish Priest of Clonskeagh, has been appointed curate to Portmarnock Parish.  These appointments take effect as and from September 1, 2010.
