Launch of the new Faith Community Areas for the Diocese of Clonfert will take place on the Feast of St Brendan (Our Diocesan Patron), Tuesday 16th of May 2023 at 7.30pm with Mass celebrated by Bishop Michael at the Shrine of Our Lady of Clonfert. All are welcome for this most important celebration.
This important initiative marks a closer coming together of our parishes into three faith community areas centred on the deanery towns of Loughrea, Ballinasloe and Portumna. Over time, it is hoped that the sharing of priests, personnel, resources and talent will mean that parishes working closer together will be able to achieve more than they could on their own.
