The parishioners of Rathkeale and Kilnaughtin heartily welcomed Canon Patrick Comerford as their new priest–in–charge at a service in Holy Trinity Church, Rathkeale. The service was conducted by Bishop Kenneth Kearon and the preacher was the Most Revd Dr John Neill retired Archbishop of Dublin and Glendalough.  The hymns for the occasion were specially chosen by the new priest–in–charge and the lovely church was filled with joyful singing.  Patrick’s appointment to this part–time ministry is a great encouragement to a widely dispersed congregation, from Tarbert/Listowel to the borders of Adare parish. He will be sharing this ministry as he also undertakes a part–time role as director of education throughout the diocese.
