FR. EMMANUEL.
Fr. Emmanuel Abuh has departed from our Parish and we will now have Fr. Stephen Duffy as Parish Administrator up to June 2018.
Although Fr. Emmanuel was only here for two weeks, it appears he certainly enjoyed his time spent with us and he would have loved to have been allowed to stay longer. He will spend a brief time in Dublin before heading back to his native Nigeria. Meanwhile we welcome Fr. Duffy and hope he enjoys his time in Termonfeckin. It is good also to see that Fr. Aidan Murphy has settled in on the West Coast of the USA and our prayers are still with him as he undertakes his Sabbatical.
SCOIL NAOMH FEICHIN.
The work on the long awaited extension to Scoil Naomh Feichin is about to begin. During the week, the extension area was cordoned off from the school and some groundwork begun. This is very positive for the school and hopefully any disruptions will be minimal.
