Bishop urges vocations at diocese’s sole ordination

THE Bishop of Kerry, Dr Bill Murphy, has urged people, especially parents, to encourage vocations in young people.

“I believe that God is still calling young people to the priesthood and religious life. The Holy Spirit is still prompting the hearts of young people. They need guides, including parents, who are not afraid to point the way for them,” he said.

He was preaching at the ordination of Fr Bernard Healy, of Tralee, the only priest being ordained in the Kerry Diocese this year.
