I want to thank Fr. Joe Caulfield for all his work in the parish over the past ten years.I know it is much appreciated throughout the Community. I especially thank him for his kindness and help to me in my move to Carracastle. I wish him every blessing as he begins his Ministry in Gurteen. For the moment I will be at the parochial house during the day and in Owens' house in Gowel at night. I look forward to meeting you all in the weeks ahead.
