Priests of the diocese return refreshed after retreat

Priests from the Diocese of Cork and Ross have returned to their parishes and various ministries following their annual retreat in Garryvoe, Co Cork.

Fr. Richard Hendrick, the Capuchin Provincial Minister in Ireland, directed the retreat. The daily schedule included community prayer, Mass, talks, shared meals, personal time, adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, and the rosary.

Bishop Fintan Gavin served as the principal celebrant for the final Mass, with Fr. Robert Young and Fr. Richard Hendrick serving as concelebrants. The retreat serves as a time for spiritual renewal, rest, and fraternity among the diocesan priests.
