Following the retirement of our Parish Priest, Father John Scanlan and more recently the retirement of Father Stephen Doyle who was serving as our Parish Priest, the Bishop has appointed Father Churchill Emeghara to the parish as Parochial Administrator until a permanent Parish Priest is appointed. Father Churchill was assisted by Permanent Deacon Paul Griffin from April 2024 until mid November 2024, at which point Reverend Paul was assigned to a new parish. In the New Year, our new Parish Priest, Father Gavin Landers will join us. father Churchill will return to his former parish in Middleton.
