Message from Bishop Bill Murphy: Bishop Bill Murphy would like to inform the people of the diocese that from July 2011, there will no longer be a priest resident in the parish of Allihies. The reason for this decision in the reduction of the number of clergy ministering in the diocese. Over the past few years, the diocese has been preparing for this day, but it is still a cause of great sadness. However, priestly ministry will continue to be available to the parish, but it will take a different form. Regrettably, this loss of a priest resident, in the parish will be repeated in every one of the 12 pastoral areas of the diocese over the coming years. However, due to the preparation that has been underway over the past number of years, the new structures that are in place and the commitment of the clergy and the laity to work together, it is hoped that the situation can be managed well. It will also call laity to take their rightful place in leadership roles within parishes. Bishop Bill asks that we keep the priests and people of the Beara Pastoral Area in our prayers as they strive to respond to this new situation
