Monday, September 17th, 2007
“I warmly welcome the announcement that Father Seamus Freeman is to be installed as the new Catholic Bishop of Ossory and I wish him well as he embraces his work in this Diocese. It is a singular honour for the Coolagh man and indeed for his mother, his family, and the entire Parish of Callan”.
“I understand he is a man of great humility and spirituality and I have no doubt that he will continue the great work of renewal which was fostered by Bishop Laurence Forristal”.
“I am taking this opportunity to extend my good wishes to Bishop Foristal for a long and fulfilling retirement after 26 years of careful stewardship in the Diocese”.
