Tributes paid to retired bishop on episcopal ordination anniversary

Retired Bishop John Buckley received Bol Chumann's Hall of Fame Award for 2019 at Presentation Night Abbey Hotel, Ballyvourney.

Tributes have been paid to Emeritus Bishop John Buckley, who says he wants no fuss as he marks the 40th anniversary of his episcopal ordination this week.

The Bishop of Cork and Ross, Bishop Fintan Gavin, said since his retirement in 2019, his predecessor has continued and expanded his pastoral work, and is still a great presence in the diocese.
