Fr Martin Hayes
Bishop Elect of Kilmore
On Monday morning, 29 June 2020, the Papal Nuncio,
Archbishop Jude Thaddeus Okolo celebrated Mass for
the feast of St Peter and Paul in the Cathedral of St Patrick & St Felim in Cavan. At the Mass
Archbishop Okolo announced that Pope Francis had
appointed Fr Martin Hayes, a priest of the archdiocese of Cashel
and Emly, as Bishop-elect of the diocese of Kilmore. This is a happy day for the diocese of Kilmore because a successor to Bishop Leo O’Reilly has been
appointed by the Vatican.
Please pray for Fr. Martin as he prepares for his
Episcopal ordination later in the year.
