NEWLY ordained Fr Sean Jones has been assigned to St John’s Parish in Tralee.
The Moyvane native, who was ordained by Bishop Ray Browne last Sunday, is the first priest to be ordained for the Diocese of Kerry for 11 years.
In a short list of appointments announced this Friday, Bishop Browne announced that Fr Anthony O’Sullivan has returned from sabbatical and, in the coming year, he will stand in for priests taking short sabbatical breaks.
Fr Bernard Healy, meanwhile, currently a curate St John’s Parish in Tralee, is to pursue further studies in the Irish College in Rome.
Priests in all pastoral areas of the diocese will take up different responsibilities outside their own parishes and within the pastoral area and this will be decided and communicated locally.
The changes will become effective on Wednesday, July 25.
Bishop Browne said the short list of appointments and transfers is good because every change disturbs a pastoral area as well as a parish and it is vital to keep such disturbances to a minimum.
