On Saturday 30th August 2025 – the Diocese of Cloyne will celebrate the Ordination of Tiernan Burke from Whitechurch for service as a Deacon. Tiernan was a seminarian at the National Seminary at St Patrick’s Pontifical University in Maynooth, where he has completed his studies for the Priesthood for the diocese.
The ordination Mass will be celebrated in St Patrick’s Church, Whitechurch at 12 noon.
The Bishop of Cloyne, Bishop William Crean, will be the ordaining prelate and he will be joined by priests and deacons from across the Diocese and from Maynooth and other places. They will be joined by members of Tiernan’s family, his classmates and friends.
As Tiernan continues his formation for priestly ordination, he will work in ministry in the Diocese as a transitional deacon ahead of his future ordination.
Join us for a nourishing retreat as we celebrate the 10th anniversary of Laudato Si' in the beautiful surroundings of Ballyvaloo. Be inspired by the richness of ecological spirituality
