This is a very interesting and encouraging development in Clogher. As you can see from the report, they are really facing the issues and problems that all of us as priests are confronted with. We, the leadership, would love if other dioceses could maybe take a lead from this, and begin to organise similar type meetings. I am aware that such discussion is probably done best at local level, but if anyone could come up with how we might pursue these agendas at a national level we would love to hear from them. The organiser of the ACP in Clogher is Jimmy McPhillips. I am sure Jimmy would be more than happy to give advice to any other group wishing to follow their lead.
