The Bishop of Elphin Kevin Doran has not ruled out sending a local seminarian for training to St Patrick’s Seminary in Maynooth.
In a statement to The Sligo Champion, Bishop Doran said: “As it happens, the Diocese of Elphin does not currently have any seminarian in Maynooth. When making a decision as to where a candidate would be sent for seminary formation, the bishop is guided by the particular formation needs and personal aptitudes of the individual concerned.” Archbishop Diarmuid Martin said there were “strange goings-on there”.
