Bishop Leahy calls on people and parishes to ’think community’

Bishop Brendan Leahy has called on the people and parishes of the Diocese of Limerick to work together for the common good. Speaking at the recent Annual Assembly, the bishop encouraged community members to unite around a shared purpose to build strong and vibrant communities.

During the assembly, titled Gathered in Faith: Reviewing Our Journey, Shaping Our Future, Bishop Leahy used the Limerick senior hurling team as an example of how teamwork and commitment lead to success. He noted that working together allows communities to shelter, encourage, and nurture their members.

The assembly brought together clergy and lay people from 60 parishes to review pastoral work from the last 12 months. Participants also discussed the future of the diocese in light of findings from a recent parish consultation process.
