An Important Announcement from Fr Byrne
(To be read at all Masses 5/6 July 2025)
Archbishop Nolan recently decided to make a number of clergy changes which will be effective from September 19th.
Several of these changes will directly affect Brigid’s.
Concretely:
Since Fr Michael Woodford from Gabriel’s and Fr Gerard Hill from St Vincent’s in Thornliebank are retiring, he has asked Monsignor Bradley and Father Lukose to leave Holy Cross and transfer to St Gabriel’s Parish.
Father Byrne will be transferred from here to St Vincent’s in Thornliebank.
In addition, Fr Allan Cameron will leave his parish of St Gregory’s in Wyndford, and will become parish priest of both Holy Cross and St Brigid’s parishes.
Fr Byrne had already arranged to be away before he spoke to the Archbishop. He is sorry that he is not here to make this important announcements himself, but he will meet with Fr Cameron and Mgr Bradley this week and will be available to answer as many of your questions as possible next weekend.
In the meantime, Fr Cameron wishes to reassure you all that, although the number of Masses will have to change, he has every desire to maintain the pastoral lives of both parishes.”
