The Bishop of Cloyne has appealed to parishioners for financial and volunteer support for their parishes as churches reopen for public worship.

In a letter to parishioners, Bishop William Crean appealed for volunteer stewards, who may have gained experience during the pandemic of ensuring safe gatherings of people, to help their parishes return to prayer safely for Christmas.
