Congratulations and blessings to Paraic Higgins who was ordained a deacon yesterday in The Cathedral for the Diocese of Corpus Christi in Texas. Paraic is a native of Castlegar Parish, and his mum, Bernadette, is from our own parish; she is one of the Carr's of Circular Road. Paraic's Bishop, Bishop Carmody, whose family hail from Kerry, travelled to Galway to ordain him. Please God he will be ordained a priest for Corpus Christi Diocese in 2010.
