Priesthood Ordination for our Diocese
On Sunday 17th July, Rev Barry White, from Rathkenny in Co Meath, was ordained priest for our Diocese, in the Cathedral of Christ the King, Mullingar by Most Rev Tom Deenihan, Bishop of Meath.
In his homily, Bishop Deenihan commented that “ Barry as a successful young man who was offering himself in service to the People of God would be seen to be countercultural.” The new Fr Barry, in the homily for his First Mass of Thanksgiving reflected, “ "As a newly ordained priest, I look out onto a new horizon in my life, and I will journey across uncharted waters, into the unknown, in and with the Church in Ireland, coming to terms with rapidly changing times and challenges. In these times of transition, the hope and strength of the priesthood rests on the solid foundation of the Eternal High Priest, Jesus Christ, who is “the same, yesterday, today and forever” (Hebrews 13:8): Jesus Christ, who stretched out his arms on the Cross, as a priest offering prayer and sacrifice, dies and rises, opening the doors to eternal life.”"
Let us pray for Fr Barry and that many more young men will answer the Lord’s call to serve as priests.
