Fr Laurence (La) Flynn, the present parish priest of Ballybay (Tullycorbet), Co. Monaghan, is to take over the role on October 1. He will also be the administrator of the Parish of Pettigo. Fr Flynn will succeed Fr Owen J. McEneaney, who has held both roles since 2013 and who has been appointed Parish Priest of Ballybay (Tullycorbet) in place of Fr Flynn. Fr McEneaney previously served in Ballybay during the 1980s following his ordination.
