After a series of meetings with the Deacons of the Diocese, I am happy to announce the following changes:
Rev Martin Doherty moves from St Mirin’s Cathedral to St Margaret’s, Johnstone.
Rev Brian Mackenzie moves from St John’s, Barrhead, to St Charles’, Paisley.
Rev Pat Doogan moves from St Joseph’s, Clarkston, to St Brigid’s, Eaglesham.
Rev Graham Kelly moves from St Ninian’s, Gourock, to St Mary’s, Greenock.
Rev Don Keane moves from St Mary’s, Greenock, to St Laurences’, Greenock.
Rev Denis Murphy moves from St Margaret’s, Johnstone, to St John’s, Barrhead.
Rev Jack Gallacher remains in St Mirin’s, and Rev John Morrison remains in St Peter’s.
I would like to thank our Deacons who are moving for agreeing so readily to the transfers, and thank all of them for the hard work they put in every week in the parishes, and for all of the benefits that they bring to the Diocese.
I would also like to thank the local Priests involved for accepting the moves.
The moves will take effect from the first weekend in March.
Please continue to pray for all of those involved in the Permanent Diaconate, and especially for those involved in the moves.
