Supply priest wanted (or available)

Any clergy seeking a supply priest to conduct liturgies for their parish or community can have their requests posted here. Posts should always include the relevant dates, the church’s location and the services to be covered, plus a contact person (phone and/or email address).

Send requests to info@associationofcatholicpriests.ie, or to patrogers43 AT gmail.com

Any celebrants offering to serve in this way (as “supply”) must show they have faculties to serve in that diocese and a current “celebret” affirming their standing.
