Fr John Mahony is the newest priest to be ordained to the priesthood for the Diocese of Elphin, with the ordination taking place in the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Co. Sligo on December 8.
At the ordination, Bishop Kevin Doran noted that this was the first ordination to the diocese since Fr John Coughlan was ordained 12 years ago, but commended Fr Mahony to the Holy Spirit, that his ministry might “allow space for the Spirit to work in you” and in the community.
Fr Mahony now takes his place as the Administrator of Ballintubber-Ballymoe Parish.
