Rev. John Godfrey, New Archdeacon

Congratulations to Reverend John Godfrey who has been appointed Archdeacon of Killaloe. Currently the rector of Aughrim Union Parishes, his new role will also see him as  Archdeacon of Tuam.

His geographical location and previous experience in Galway and Tuam will help him in this new job. John is well known for his gifts of wisdom, spirituality, pastoral commitment, and administration. The esteem in which he is held across the whole diocese was demonstrated by his recent election as Dioceses of Tuam, Limerick and Killaloe representative canon in St Patrick’s Cathedral.

“The whole faith story is realising that the world is far from how it should be, but that each individual action matters. Every single positive thing we do has benefits we cannot yet imagine, we just have to start and then follow on from each positive step we take. In Christmas 2022 may it be a sign, for all of us, of God’s enduring love in the middle of our current lives. May the light of Christ bring renewed hope to us all this Christmas”.  wishes Rev. John Godfrey.
