I warmly congratulate Canon William Crean on his appointment today by
the Holy Father, Pope Benedict, as the new Bishop of Cloyne.
Canon
Crean is an outstanding priest and is much loved by the vibrant faith
community of the Parish of Cahersiveen.
Canon Crean has held a number of
key responsibilities within the Diocese of Kerry and has been
successful in each of them.
The priests and people of Cloyne are also to
be congratulated as they prepare to receive such an exemplary pastor as
William Crean.
I pray for success in his new ministry.
Kerry’s loss is
Cloyne’s gain!
