Bishop: 'Many' Limerick priests intend to proceed with communions and confirmations
The Bishop of Limerick said a small number of parishes are postponing ceremonies, and a decision has yet to be made by others.
'Many' priests in Limerick are planning to proceed with communions and confirmations despite the HSE advising against it, the Bishop of Limerick has said.
In a letter sent last Tuesday to the dioceses of Limerick, Cashel-Emly, and Killaloe, the Department of Public Health Mid West stated that these ceremonies should be deferred until September, due to the "current high rate of Covid-19 infection in the mid-west region," adding that, by September, most of those eligible should be fully vaccinated against Covid.
