Fr.Eugene Dolan was appointed curate on 10th June 1970 and became Parish Priest in 1974

Fr. Paddy Quirk arrived in November 2000 to help in the running of the parish during Fr. Dolan's illness and recuperation. He entered enthusiastically into all aspects of parish life, even volunteering to have his head shaved to raise funds at the Christmas Fair in 2001!

When he returned to Limerick  to prepare for his next appointment, he did not want "any fuss" and did not allow Fr Dolan to announce his departure until after he left.

Fr.Paddy  returned to South Africa, where he worked for many years, at the end of August 2002

The whole parish joins with Fr Dolan in thanking Fr.Paddy for all he has done for us and we hope that he will soon visit us again. Meanwhile we offer our prayers and good wishes for the future.
