Parish Team

THE PARISH TEAM

                fr-cyril

 

Rev. Cyril Mangan. Adm.

Our most recent addition, Fr. Cyril joined the team on 15th September, having come from St. Colmcille's parish in Swords.  We wish him well and hope he finds a welcoming and supportive community here in St. Brigid's

Rev. John Casey C.Ss.R
Fr. Casey says "I'm a redemptorist and come from Mitchelstown in Cork. I was ordained in Galway after an undistinguished academic career. I spent about fourteen years as a missionary in India. On returning to Ireland I was engaged in Parish missions and retreats. About seven years ago I got permission to work in a parish in Dublin and ended up in St. Brigid's. I have been happy here since then.

Rev. Pat Guckian
Appointed to Blanchardstown on 1st Nov. 2009, Fr. Guckian started his priesthood as chaplain to the Mater hospital, where he stayed for two years. Since then he has worked in five parishes throughout the Diocese of Dublin - Palmerstown, Rowlagh, Our Lady of Victories, Donnybrook and nine years as Parish Priest of St. Canice's, Finglas - before joining the team here in Blanchardstown. He is a 'Northside Dub' from the Navan Road (and very proud of that), so you could say he has almost come home.

Kevin Mullally 
Kevin is a native of Dublin living in Finglas West and a graduate of All Hallows College. He was a teacher for a number of years and a consultant with the Edmund Rice Schools trust. Kevin has also studied various subjects from Mediation and Facilitation to Spirituality and Education and is a graduate of   Maynooth, Milltown and Trinity. 
While Fr. Cyril, as administrator, is charged with overall care and development, the parish itself is divided into three Districts. Each priest has responsibility for the pastoral care of one district.
Pastor Emeritus
Canon Walter Harris		 Canon Harris studied in Clonliffe and was ordained on June 14th 1953. He worked in many parishes throughout the Dublin diocese before being appointed Parish Priest of Blanchardstown in 1989. He served as P.P. until he retired in 2003. While he no longer has an official role in St. Brigid's, we are very glad that he remains so much a part of our parish life.
Sacristan
Kathleen Somers		 Appointed on Easter Monday 1995, Kathleen's knowledge of Blanchardstown and its people is legendary. The contribution she makes to all that takes place in the church is invaluable.
Parish Secretary
Christine Carleton		 Joining the team in 2004, Christine is responsible for the secretarial aspects of the parish - accounts, correspondence and parish records. Together with the sacristan, she is happy to deal with enquiries regarding arrangements for baptisms, marriages, Mass intentions, parish events and all other items that arise in a busy parish like ours.
