Changes of Personnel –

We will be having changes of personnel in the diocese in the coming weeks:
Canon Nancy Gillespie will leave her position as Rector of Stradbally, Co. Laois and become part-time assistant to the Rector of Carlow – this move has been facilitated by the new rule on interchange between part-time and full-time ministry.
The Rev Susan Green (Orr) will take up her appointment as chaplain to Kilkenny College – a part-time appointment.
The Rev Olive Donohoe, at present Rector of Mountmellick, will take up her appointment as Priest-in-Charge of Stradbally Parish (Co. Laois) – this parish will cease to have a Rector at this time.
The Rev Stella Jones will leave Clonenagh Parish (Mountrath) and return to the Diocese of Cork.
The Rev Gunilla Alquist will leave Wexford Parish to return to Sweden after serving as Curate for a number of years.
Dean Norman Lynas has left Kilkenny Parish to take up a three-year contract ministry in Bermuda.
We pray for these clergy as they move into new situations and for the people of hte parishes who will experience change.
