Support group for priests and Religious out of ministry being established

The ACP Leadership Team would like to update members on progress with the setting up of a support group for priests and religious out of ministry.

An Advisory Board has been established of the following members: Dr. Marie Keenan (Chairperson); Fr. Ed Grimes, CSSp; Bobby Eagar; Dr. Kevin Egan; Fr. Mike Drennan, SJ; Dr. Jim O’Donoghue; Ms. Maeve Lewis; Mr. Ian Elliott and Fr. Martin Cosgrave.

This Board has already met twice and a third meeting is planned for 13 December next.

The Board is contacting the ACP,  bishops individually, the IMU and CORI — to let that know that the first meeting of the Support Group is scheduled for January 2013 and will inform each body, closer to the time, the exact date and venue of that meeting.
