Welcome, Reverend Martin Whelan.

We welcome Reverend Martin Whelan today. Martin, from the Parish of Ardrahan, was ordained a deacon on June 1st in Maynooth and will, please God, be ordained a priest for the diocese in 2009. He will be with us for the summer and I know he will receive the great Westside welcome that I, the webmaster, have always received here. The situation is very urgent with regards to vocations; we only have one other student for our diocese. This is a year of special prayer in the Irish Church for vocations; see the side bar menu for links and more details. Above all, pray!!
