Bishop Frank has announced the following clergy appointments within the Diocese:

Fr Stephen Latham, Parish Priest of Our Lady of Perpetual Succour, Beith; St Brigid’s, Kilbirnie; and St Palladius, Dalry, is appointed as Religious Education Advisor for Primary and Secondary Schools.

Fr Kevin Rennie, Assistant Priest of St Joseph’s, Kilmarnock, is appointed as Diocesan Youth Officer.

Bishop Frank thanks Fr Jim Hayes, who stepped back from both roles in August, for his work over recent years and thanks to Frs Stephen and Kevin for accepting these appointments.

These changes take effect today.
