The Bishop of Derry & Raphoe Welcomes the Appointment of the Revd Pat Storey as the new Bishop of Meath and Kildare
From The Right Revd Ken Good, Bishop of Derry and Raphoe:
‘I warmly welcome the Revd Pat Storey’s appointment as Bishop of Meath and Kildare. It is great news indeed.
‘In the Dioceses of Derry and Raphoe we know well how gifted the Revd Pat Storey is and how effective her ministry is not only in a parish setting but also far beyond the local church. Her warmth, her deep personal faith and her natural ability to relate to people have enabled her to make a significant impact throughout the city, the diocese and the wider community.
‘I am convinced that Pat will be an excellent bishop. Not only will the Dioceses of Meath and Kildare benefit greatly from her episcopal ministry but so, too, will the wider church and community.
‘The parish of St Augustine’s and the Dioceses of Derry and Raphoe will greatly miss Pat and her husband, the Revd Earl Storey. Yet we are really delighted with this news and assure them of our prayers for all that lies ahead.’
