Fr Joseph Nnamdi Mokwe, Diocese of Sokoto, Nigeria to be Priest-in-Residence in Dromore (from 13 October 2026).
Commenting on these appointments, Bishop Duffy says –
‘In making these changes I am very conscious of the many responsibilities that Fr John, Canon Jimmy and several other priests across the Diocese have taken on in recent years and months in terms of assuming responsibility for additional parishes. I really appreciate their commitment in taking on the extra work. It reminds us once more of the burdens of responsibility that we carry, that there is an ever-growing need to share that responsibility into the future.’
He concludes by wishing Fr John, Canon Jimmy and Fr Joseph and all clergy every blessing in their ministry and responsibilities.
