Priesthood in the Killaloe Diocese

“Whom shall I send?’…‘Here I am…send me!’”

– The Call of Isaiah (Isaiah 6:1-13)

We are very hopeful that we can build on recent progress whereby two men from the Diocese are in the seminary at Maynooth at present.

We are encouraging any man who has been considering a vocation and is exploring their calling to make contact today with the Vocations Office or to speak with their local priest. Most newly ordained priests will comment on how the encouragement and counsel they received from their local priest greatly assisted in commencing their journey to priestly ministry.

Pictured at St. Flannan’s College in Ennis is  the former Vocations Director Fr. Ignatius McCormack and Mark Nestor of Ennis, Co. Clare, who entered the seminary at Maynooth in September 2023. Mark is a former student of St. Flannan’s College where Fr. Ignatius was Principal.
