A
introduction of ArchBishoP neAry
for the diocesAn directory 2016
number of years ago a faithinspired and scholarly
appreciation of a living
community of faith was
presented in Fr Kieran
Waldron’s, Archdiocese of Tuam – An
Illustrated History, an elegant and
remarkably researched work. For several
years his brother, Fr Peter Waldron edited
the diocesan directory, whenever the need
arose. We are deeply indebted and
thankful to both Kieran and Peter for all
their work on diocesan publications.
This year, Fr Fintan Monahan, Diocesan
Secretary has taken on the task of editing
the directory, at the request of the Council
of Priests. Already editor of the diocesan
magazine, New Dawn and managing the
diocesan website along with various
diocesan social media outlets – it is
perhaps convenient and appropriate to
combine the roles and duties of all
together.
In the Diocesan Directory, like previous
directories we are presented with a road
map for our Archdiocese. The people,
religious – priests and Archbishops who
form the people of God of Tuam are
contained in these pages. Parishes,
church areas, Religious houses – places
of pilgrimage, various ministries, church
organisations, diocesan committees
provide an insight into the evangelisation
in which so many are energetically
involved. Paging through this directory
one gets a clear sense of the
collaboration which is taking place
between priest and people, locally and
also at diocesan level.
This directory will be a great resource
for all who wish to access diocesan and
parish information and in that way will, I
believe, play a very important role in
providing people with a sense of diocesan
identity. I hope this will help to give people
a sense of what we are trying to achieve
and bring about in the planning document
and process outlined in Journeying
Together in Faith: Proposals for Nurturing
and Developing the Catholic Faith in the
Archdiocese of Tuam 2013-2020.
I warmly congratulate Fr Fintan
Monahan and his many helpers on the
meticulous approach in collecting,
collating and presenting all the information
contained within these covers. Many
thanks to many of the clergy and parish
personnel along with the staff of Media
West who have assisted him in sending on
data and in the work of proofing.

pilgrimage and faith formation in the Tuam Archdiocese.
Fr Stephen Ludden initiated this role for Ballintubber, following the
historical restoration of ‘the Abbey that refused to die’ by Fr Tommy
Egan. In 1986, Archbishop Joseph Cunnane appointed Fr Frank Fahey
to Ballintubber with a view to continuing the Abbey’s development as a
Pilgrimage and Retreat Centre. It will be celebrating its Octo-Centenary
this year, 2016.
To further this development, the Abbey Trust was formed, with
representatives from the local, diocesan and the wider community,
under Archbishop Cassidy.
Tóchar Phádraig, the ancient pilgrim path to Croagh Patrick, was
brought back into use again with the co-operation of 46 farmers. Approx
1,000 visitors now walk it annually.
The grounds of the Abbey were landscaped with life-size
representations of the Stations of the Cross and the Mysteries of the
Rosary. Church Island, the 6th century Monastic Island on Lough Carra,
has been developed as a place of reflective solitude.
In 1994, the Dorter part of the Abbey was restored to provide facilities
for conducting retreats. It is hoped that it will be extended for the octocentenary 2016
The Celtic Furrow, opened in 2001, serves the adult and post-primary
retreats and is operative as an interpretative centre during the summer.
Archbishop Michael Neary has supported, encouraged and facilitated
this ongoing vision for Ballintubber.
RETREATS-FAITH FORMATION
Retreats in Ballintubber consist of: Confirmation retreats from February
to May; post primary retreats from September to May; and adult retreats
in the months of July and August.
There is a qualified team in place at the Abbey to conduct these
retreats. It is the policy of the Trust to have the best qualified personnel
conducting and facilitating retreats.
• The Confirmation retreats serve most of the schools in the diocese
with approximately 1,500 pupils attending annually
• The post-primary retreats are booked out every year.
• Parish, Pastoral and Prayer groups are availing of the retreat facilities
on Church Island, at the Abbey and in the Celtic Furrow.
• Pilgrimage groups are guided along the Tóchar to Croagh Patrick.
• A tour of the Abbey and grounds is itself a spiritual and Faith
formation experience for the many visitors who come to the Abbey.
• Perpetual Adoration takes place in The Adoration Chapel each day
from 9am to 12midnight.
• The Passion Play, (Mon, Tue, Wed) of Holy week attracts hundreds
each year from an even wider distance
• Weddings – The ambience and the grounds of the Abbey attracts
many couples to celebrate their weddings here

PArish cLusters
in tuAm Archdiocese
One of the recommendations of the planning
document 'The Future Serving of the Parishes
of the Archdiocese of Tuam (2008-2013)' was
that the parishes of the diocese would be
grouped into 15 clusters and that a convener
would be appointed to each cluster.
The purpose of the grouping of parishes
into clusters is to ensure that the pastoral
needs of parishes are met with the available
resources. Among the hopes of the grouping
of parishes is that the communities involved
might share personnel, resources, training,
formation as well as sharing administrative
tasks.
In 2013, a follow-up planning document
was published entitled 'Journeying Together in
Faith: Proposals for Nurturing and Developing
the Catholic Faith in the Archdiocese of Tuam
2013-2020'. This document builds on the
recommendations of the 2008 document and
makes proposals on how the pastoral needs
of the parishes might be served between
2013 and 2020. Both documents envision
parishes working together in cluster
groupings.
The cluster conveners along with
representatives of the pastoral councils are
invited to three meetings each year where the
pastoral challenges facing parishes and the
diocese are addressed and the initiatives that
work well in the various clusters are
discussed. The conveners and pastoral
council representatives bring these
discussions back to their respective parishes
and pastoral councils.
The convener meetings take place in
Knock House Hotel. The current secretary of
the convener meetings is Mary Forde from
Knock Parish Pastoral Council.
In January 2016, the Cluster Conveners
were as follows:
Fr John Cosgrove, Castlebar, Fr Charlie
McDonnell, Westport, Fr Tod Nolan, Newport,
Fr Austie Fergus, Mayoabbey, Fr Stephen
Farragher, Ballyhaunis, Fr Pádraig O Connor,
Mountbellew, Fr Des Walsh, Lackagh, Fr
Ciarán Blake, An Ceathrú Rua, Fr Pat
Farragher, Tuam, Fr Paddy Mooney,
Glenamaddy, Fr Ronnie Boyle, Letterfrack, Fr
Hughie Loftus, Corrandulla, Fr Conal Eustace,
Ballinrobe, Fr Martin O Connor, Ballindine.

counciL of Priests
The Code of Canon Law defines a Council of Priests of a Diocese as: a
group of priests who represent the presbyterium and who are to be, as it
were, the Bishop's senate.
The Council's role is to assist the Bishop, in accordance with the law,
in the governance of the diocese, so that the pastoral welfare of that
portion of the people of God entrusted to the Bishop may be effectively
promoted. (Canon 495)
The Council's role is to assist the Bishop in a consultative capacity.
The Tuam Diocesan Council holds office for three years and is made
up of:
(a) Ex officio members, Archbishop Neary and Rt. Rev. Msgr Dermot
Moloney, Vicar General
(b) Elected representatives of the various Deaneries and age groups
(c) Individual priests appointed by the Archbishop for specific reasons

euchAristic AdorAtion – diocesAn committee
This Eucharistic Adoration committee is equipped and trained to set up
a system of viable weekly adoration in any parish of the diocese, at the
invitation of priests. Where a previous system of adoration exists, then
the task undertaken will be to strengthen and expand it.
Several parishes have requested a weekend presentation from the
committee. It is expected that there will be a great uptake from parishes
of the diocese in 2016, and 12 contact teams are now available to
respond to parishes as they make contact.

Grandparents from the Tuam Archdiocese at a recent celebration Mass.
catholic Grandparents Association
There are several branches in different
parishes around the diocese and
worldwide. An annual celebration of
Grandparents is held in Tuam Cathedral
around the feast of Saints Anne and
Joachim in July and the big annual
pilgrimage to Our Lady’s Shrine, Knock is
held in mid-September.
This association grew out of our
Grandparents Pilgrimages, where
thousands of grandparents gathered in
recent years, united by the same goal to
do the very best we can for our children
and grandchildren.
Grandparents have no agenda; they
simply want the best for their
grandchildren. They want them to be good,
decent human beings, to know the
difference between right and wrong, able
to make good moral decisions and, if they
go astray along the way, to be able to find
their way back to a loving, forgiving, non
judgemental God.
Grandparents’ vital contribution to the
family, the Church and society was never
as important as now. We are living in
12
unprecedented times, with constantly
changing social and moral values.
Sometimes we feel like we are failing. We
are not. We can never fail so long as we
keep on doing what we are doing –
praying, showing the way and passing our
Faith.
At the heart of the Catholic
Grandparents Association is the firm belief
that this is our duty, our responsibility, our
vocation, and we must do what we can.
This is probably the most important job we
will ever have and, for many of us, it may
be our last. It is one from which we can
never retire, so let us do our best. We owe
it to our grandchildren.
May God bless you, your grandchildren,
and your children.

This service is predominantly an adult service and caters

or a lesser amount, whichever they can afford. However
many people attending the service are unable to
contribute anything and this does not prevent them
accessing the service.

PLAnninG your mArriAGe
reserVinG the church:
As soon as you have chosen a date for your marriage, please consult
with your local parish to ensure that the date is available in the Church.
Please note: the reservation of the Church is made on the
understanding that you are free to marry both in civil law and in the law
of the Church. If either of you has ever been married previously,
(whether in a Church or in a civil ceremony), or if you are in any doubt
about your freedom to marry, please mention this at the time of making
your request. This will help to avoid any unforeseen complications.
three months notice to the PArish:
A mature decision to marry is not something you arrive at on the spur of
the moment. The experience of the Church would suggest that
marriages which take place at short notice, or at a very young age, may
not be based on a mature decision, and may therefore be more at risk.
For this reason, it is required that each person being married should
notify his / her local priest (i.e, in the parish where you are currently
resident) at least three months before the marriage.
minimum AGe:
To get married in a Church in the Archdiocese of Tuam a person must
be 18 years of age or over on the date of the wedding.
church mArriAGe And ciViL LAW:
In accordance with the provisions of the Civil Registration Act 2004
(Section 51.3c) your marriage may be solemnized by a priest or deacon
who is registered within the state as a solemniser. For the avoidance of
doubt, in the Archdiocese of Tuam, a priest or deacon, whether of the
diocese or otherwise, is authorised to celebrate or solemnise a
marriage only:
in a Church designated for that purpose by the bishop
with the delegation of the parish priest or administrator (unless he has
general delegation in writing)
for a man and a woman who are free to marry in accordance with the
law of the Church
It is the responsibility of the couple to produce the Marriage Registration
Form at the Church, to sign it immediately after the ceremony, and to
bring it for registration to the office of the civil registrar within one
month.
Details with regard to the Civil Registration can be obtained on
www.groireland.ie.
The Registration offices:
Galway: 25, Newcastle Road 091 546277.
Castlebar: New Antrim Street 094 9023249
Roscommon: Lanesboro Road 090 6637508
Pre-mArriAGe PrePArAtion:
We generally prepare carefully for anything which is important.
Preparation for marriage could be looked at under two headings.
preparation is about gathering information about married life which will
help you to make the big decision, and all the other decisions which
follow from that.
Preparation is also about assessing your own personal readiness for
marriage, and the maturity of your relationship. Nobody else can
prepare you, but various people can help, including family members,
friends, and the priest of your parish.
Pre-mArriAGe courses:
Some formal preparation for marriage must be undertaken. Participation
in a pre-marriage course is required by the Archdiocese. Most courses
provide a certain amount of input on questions such as finance, homemaking, fertility, parenthood, and preparing the marriage celebration.
The real value of the courses is probably in that they help to focus your
own discussion, and provide the opportunity of talking with other
couples in a 'safe environment'.
sAcrAments:
It is the responsibility of the Church to assist people in preparing for the
Sacraments. We do not normally contract this responsibility out to
commercial agencies. Where the Sacrament of Marriage is concerned,
Accord is our own diocesan agency and is entrusted with the mission of
assisting couples who are preparing for the Sacrament of Marriage.
They do this in partnership with the priests who will also meet each
couple individually to support them in deepening their understanding of
the Sacrament and preparing the liturgical celebration. Needless to say,
if couples wish to do another course in addition to the above, they are
free to do so. There is so much preparation for the day itself, that a little
more preparation for a lifetime of commitment would not go astray. For
further information see www.accord.ie/services/marriage-preparation
and select by region.
Accord:
Catholic Marriage Care Service, is an Agency of the Irish Catholic
Bishops’ Conference. It has centres located throughout the dioceses of
Ireland. Its ministry is primarily concerned with supporting the
sacrament of marriage by helping couples as they prepare for marriage
and offering support to them in their marriage relationship. ACCORD’s
aim is to promote a better understanding of Christian marriage and to
help couples initiate, sustain and enrich their commitment to one
another and to family life. ACCORD’s core services include Marriage
Preparation, Marriage Counselling and Relationship and Sexuality
15
Education (RSE) though its schools programmes. For further information
phone your local ACCORD Centre, or ACCORD Central Office, or visit
www.accord.ie.
church documentAtion:
Your priest will guide you through the preparation of the documentation
required for your marriage in the Catholic Church.
mArriAGe BetWeen tWo cAthoLics:
Pre-Nuptial Enquiry:
Each person completes this form with the priest in his / her present
parish of residence. No other priest is authorised to carry out this
procedure without the consent of your parish priest. This is to ensure
that someone is seen to be responsible for the process, and to protect
you from any complications which might arise if the process were not
correctly carried out. The PNE is a gathering of personal details for the
register, a way of establishing your freedom to marry, and a statement of
your intent to marry in accordance with the Christian vision of marriage.
The form is provided by the priest.
Baptismal Certificate:
Each of you will need a Baptismal Certificate which has been issued
and dated not more than six months prior to the date of your marriage.
This can be obtained by contacting the Church where you were
Baptised. It should be given to the priest preparing your pre-nuptial
enquiry. It is desirable that you also obtain a certificate of Confirmation.
This may be included on your Baptism Certificate, if the register has
been updated.
Statement of Freedom:
A letter of freedom is required from the parishes you have lived in. A
sworn affidavit or statutory declaration of freedom to marry is
acceptable also.
inter-church mArriAGe:
Marriage between a Catholic and a Christian of another denomination is
quite common. The Catholic partner requires the documents already
mentioned above, and will also need to apply for a dispensation for
inter-church marriage.
The purpose of this is to help you as a couple to ensure that you have
discussed any issues, related to your difference of religious
denomination, which might otherwise be a cause of difficulty for you in
the future.
The partner of the other denomination will need a baptismal certificate,
and a sworn affidavit or written statement from a parent or other close
relative to the effect that he / she has never been married previously,
either in a civil or a religious ceremony.
mArriAGe With A Person Who is not A christiAn:
Arrangements can also be made to celebrate a marriage in the Catholic
Church, between a Catholic and a person who is not baptised. This
should be discussed in the first instance with the priest in your parish of
residence.
Who PrePAres the PAPers With you?
As a general principle the person responsible is the priest or deacon in
your present parish of residence. If this is outside of Ireland, the papers,
once prepared are forwarded to the Bishop of the Diocese in which you
are living, who checks them, and sends them to: The Chancellor,
Archbishop’s House, Tuam, Co. Galway, where they will be checked
before being sent on to the parish where the marriage is to be
celebrated. This process can take some time, so it is advisable to begin
no later than three months before the marriage.
PLAnninG the ceremony:
The heart of your wedding day is the making of your commitment to
each other, in the presence of your families and friends. Though it may
16
last less than an hour, the marriage ceremony will be the focal point of
the day.
You are the ministers of the Sacrament of Marriage, because it is you
who give yourselves to each other. The priest is present as witness to
your commitment on behalf of the Christian community, and to bless
your union. For the celebration of your marriage, there are many options
open to you. The priest will help you to plan the liturgy.
A very useful book to help couples preparing the marriage ceremony is
A Wedding of Your Own by Padraic McCarthy, (Veritas Publications). It
contains a wide selection of Scripture readings, as well as the
alternative forms for the exchange of consent, and the other variable
parts of the ceremony. The web site www.gettingmarried.ie includes
similar information, and offers you a tool for designing your marriage
booklet.
WhAt kind of ceLeBrAtion?
Generally speaking, in the case of two Catholics, the marriage
ceremony takes place during Mass, after you have listened to the
Scripture readings. This is particularly appropriate, because the Mass is
the celebration of Christ’s gift of himself in love for his people. It is also
possible to incorporate your marriage ceremony in a celebration of
Scripture readings, prayers, and music, but without the Mass. This may
be appropriate in the case of an inter-Church marriage, or in the case of
a marriage between Catholics who don’t regularly attend Mass.
music:
Music and singing can make an important contribution to the
celebration of your marriage. Some couples like traditional pieces (e.g.,
Ave Maria etc.), while others prefer something more modern. The most
important consideration is that the music and singing that you choose
reflect the meaning of Christian Marriage. There is a fairly wide selection
available. A member of the parish music team will be happy to advise
you.
the sAcrAment of reconciLiAtion (confession):
Your marriage is a commitment to one another. Since you are marrying
as Christians, it is also a renewal of your Christian commitment. (It may
be your first formal Christian commitment as an adult). The Sacrament
of Reconciliation (Confession) is an acknowledgement of our human
weakness, and a celebration of God’s forgiveness. It is very much the
Sacrament of new beginnings, and we encourage you to make it part of
your preparation for marriage.
offerinGs:
On the assumption that the marriage takes place in your own parish and
that you are supporting your parish financially on an on-going basis,
there is no fixed fee for the use of the Church. It is normal to make an
offering which reflects what can afford, and which you feel is appropriate
to the significance of your marriage. If you are not a parishioner, or if
you do not contribute regularly, this should be taken into account when
considering the nature of your offering.
In the event that a visiting priest celebrates the marriage, any offering
you make to him is a separate matter, for your own discretion. Other
fees (e.g, organist, singer, florist, photographer etc.) have nothing to do
with the parish and are arranged directly by you.
AfterWArds:
Wherever you live after your marriage, your life as husband and wife is
important to the community of the parish, and to the future of the
Church. Remember that the love you bring to each other, and to those
around you, needs to be nourished through your own closeness to
Christ. Each time you participate in the Mass, you will not only celebrate
the self-giving love of Christ, but you will be reminded of your own gift to
each other, and you will hear His Word, calling you always to new ways
of living that love.

The Marriage Tribunal is one of the caring agencies of the Catholic
Church. In carrying out its task, the Tribunal must bear a two-fold
witness – It must bear witness to the bond of marriage and it must
bear witness to the justice and compassion of Christ for those who
have suffered from a marriage whose validity may be questioned on
recognized grounds.
The Tribunal is approached only when every effort to bring about
reconciliation in a particular marriage has ended in failure. Those who
wish to have the circumstances of their marriage investigated may
contact the Tribunal directly or through their local priest.
Four Regional Marriage Tribunals were established in Ireland by the
Irish Episcopal Conference on March 24th 1975. They are located
respectively in Armagh, Dublin, Cork and Galway cities.

deceAsed Priests Who serVed in the tuAm Archdiocese 1900-2015
Compiled by Kieran Waldron
The list is based on many diocesan sources, including the unpublished work by the late Fr Martin J Heaney (up to 1970). The handwritten version of
his 500-page Sacerdotes Tuamenses has been digitised through the good offices of the Special Collections Staff at Hardiman Library, NUI Galway and
is now accessible to researchers at the library itself. (The date of death, and the parish of last assignment, is given for each priest)
