A fond farewell, prayers for and good wishes to Fr Conor Harper SJ on his retirement from parish pastoral ministry

The parish community wishes our dear Parish Chaplain, Fr Conor Harper SJ a fond farewell and every blessing as he announces his retirement from parish pastoral ministry. Fr Conor has recently, due to various health challenges, moved residence from the Milltown Jesuit community to Cherryfield Nursing Home.

Fr Conor has ministered in this parish for the last 12 years and over that time served in a variety of capacities – Curate, Administrator and Chaplain. He will be greatly missed and his ministry in Sacred Heart parish continues to be deeply appreciated.

On the occasion of his retirement Archbishop Dermot Farrell wrote the following letter to Fr Conor, capturing the sentiments of appreciation and gratitude of both parishioners and the Archdiocese in his regard.

As gratitude is expressed to Fr Conor for his prayer filled ministry over the years, let us keep him in our prayers at this time.
