Following his ordination today, Ger will take up appointment as curate in the parish of Nenagh, Co. Tipperary.
Despite a major decline in Catholic Vocations, today’s ordination will be Bishop O’Reilly’s second this year – 31 year old Fr. Ger Fitzgerald from Castleconnell was ordained earlier this summer and is now based in Ennis.
