​Returning Home to Nigeria - A Time for Farewell Frs. Anselm and Julius return home to their families and their Diocese of Yola, Nigeria on Friday 2nd October. We are incredibly grateful for their commitment and sharing in our Pastoral Area. They came here to study in Maynooth College. Fr. Anselm studied and obtained a Masters in Moral Theology and Fr. Julius studied Health Care Chaplaincy. While with us it was incredibly sad for Fr. Julius to be unable to attend his Mother’s funeral earlier this year in Nigeria. Fr. John and I, together with our parish teams, will be at a loss not having their services and commitment. They have been with us for over two years now. Their stay was extended due to Covid-19 and we were blessed to have them. We wish them every happiness in the years ahead and a safe journey home. Due to Covid restrictions a replacement will not happen at this time. While Bishop Stephen has appointed two priests to come to us, it is not possible to do so at present. When the Covid situation eases it may be possible. Any parishioner wishing to give a gift to Frs. Anselm and Julius can place it in an envelope, leaving it in Ballinteer or Dundrum Church. Frs. Liam and John.
