On Saturday 27th July at 11.00am in SS Peter & Paul Cathedral, Ennis, in the presence of his family, fellow Priests, Parishioners, Cardinals, Bishops and Deacons, Monsignor Seamus Horgan from Tobartaoscain will be called to serve as a Bishop of the Church and first ever Papal Nuncio to South Sudan.
The Principal Consecrator will be Cardinal Pietro Parolin Secretary of State at the Vatican. We welcome His Eminence, Cardinal Parolin to Ennis as well as the Cardinals, Archbishops and Bishops who will lay hands on Msgr Seamus.
30 years ago in the same Cathedral a young Seamus Horgan was called by the late Bishop Michael Harty to priesthood. For the last 30 years, Msgr Seamus has answered that call to serve in Bodyke, Roscrea, Rome, Uganda, Switzerland, the Philippines and most recently in the United States.
Now the call is to go to South Sudan as the first ever Papal Nuncio. Please keep Msgr Seamus in your prayers and all are welcome to the Ordination Ceremony on Saturday.
