Bishop Paul Colton said:

I warmly congratulate Daniel on this very significant achievement. This recognition of his pioneering ministry is well-deserved.

Marymount CEO Dr Sarah McCloskey said:

We are proud and honoured to announce that Dr Daniel Nuzum has been awarded an AIIHPC Palliative Care Education Fellowship. We look forward to working with Daniel on his new initiatives which will be invaluable to palliative care education in Marymount.

Daniel’s fellowship has been awarded for the development of online spiritual care educational resources for use in palliative care. Daniel’s aim is that the fellowship will provide training resources for cross-professional education in palliative care in the area of spirituality which is globally recognised as a constituent part of palliative care.

Daniel said

I am proud to receive this fellowship and to work with great colleagues to bring this new palliative care project to fruition. Spirituality and good spiritual care is integral to all care in palliative care and I am delighted to be able to develop these new resources for fellow professionals.

World Refugee Day in Carrigaline Parish, County Cork

Posted on June 22, 2021 by Latest News and Photos from the Church of Ireland Diocese of Cork, Cloyne and Ross

Carrigaline Union of Parishes in the Diocese of Cork has recently begun the process to become a Church of Sanctuary (within the Places of Sanctuary movement).

On Sunday 20th June, World Refugee Day, the parish welcomed Fiona Finn, the CEO of NASC Migrant and Refugee Rights Centre in Cork to speak at the 11 am Service. (This Service was also live-streamed and may be viewed on the Parish YouTube Channel HERE

Fiona thanked the parish for their existing involvement with NASC over the last 2 years as part of the Community Sponsorship Initiative.

Together with their neighbouring Roman Catholic parishes of Our Lady and St John’s Carrigaline and The Harbour Parishes, Carrigaline Union of Parishes are sponsoring a refugee family to live in the locality. 

Fiona spoke about the latest stark figure of 82.5 million refugees worldwide (a rise from 79 million in 2019) and what we, as individuals can do to help in this seemingly hopeless situation. Everyday things like writing to our political leaders, especially now that Ireland has a seat on the UN Security Council, can make a difference.  T

The appointed Collect of the Word for 20th June, after Fiona had finished speaking, uncannily echoed her words

O God our defender, storms rage around us and cause us to be afraid; rescue your people from despair, deliver your sons and daughters from fear….

Posted on June 21, 2021 by Latest News and Photos from the Church of Ireland Diocese of Cork, Cloyne and Ross

On Sunday, 27th June next a Diocesan Service will be held in Saint Fin Barre’s Cathedral, Cork, with ecumenical participation, to mark the upcoming Centenary (on 11th July) of the Truce and the End of the War of Independence in Ireland.  

Announcing the Service, the Bishop, Dr Paul Colton, said that the Service was part of the Cork, Cloyne and Ross Diocesan Centenaries Commemoration and Reconciliation Project  which has been ongoing in the Diocese since 2012 and continues until 2023.  

‘We also wanted to avoid clashing with possible civic or official commemorations on 11th July itself’ said Bishop Colton, ‘which is why we have chosen the earlier date.’.

Because of current pandemic restrictions attendance at the Service is limited to 50 people only and is by invitation only.  The attendance will be led by the new Lord Mayor of Cork, Cllr Colm Kelleher together with representatives of the City Council, as well as representatives of State and civic life in this region.

Bishop Paul Colton will be joined by the Most Reverend Dr Fintan Gavin, Bishop of Cork and Ross, as well as representatives of the Protestant churches in Cork, and of the Society of Friends.

Posted on June 18, 2021 by Latest News and Photos from the Church of Ireland Diocese of Cork, Cloyne and Ross

The Bishop of Cork, Cloyne and Ross, Dr Paul Colton is delighted to announce the appointment of Denise Brueckl to the post of Diocesan Media and Information Technology Officer.

Announcing the appointment, Bishop Colton said:

This is a new post that we’ve taken time to consider with a view to meeting the contemporary communications and IT needs of the Diocese.

With her wide experience in business and more recently in music, as well as her proven track record in communications, business systems and social media, among many other skills, Denise is, I believe, an ideal person to be the first one who is appointed to this post. We are all delighted that she will be on our team here in Cork, Cloyne and Ross.

Denise Brueckl

Denise lives in Cork City with her fiancé Peter, and is a regular attender of St Fin Barre’s Cathedral. She served there as Dean’s Church Warden for two years and has subsequently been singing as a Lay Vicar Choral in the Cathedral Choir for the last three years. 

Denise moved to Cork from her native Bavaria five years ago and brings to the role a varied background in Industrial and Economic Sciences, Business Process Management and Musicology. She has previously worked with international businesses such as Audi, BMW and Siemens, but turned her attention towards music upon arriving in Ireland. 

Denise says:

I am looking forward to getting to know people from across the Diocese and to attending all of the different events which make Cork, Cloyne and Ross such a vibrant and interesting place to live and work.

I have been promoting the Cathedral Choir over the last few years on social media and by creating video footage of them. This is an opportunity to cover many more different spheres and to help put the Diocese with its people firmly on the map.

Denise will commence her work in this new post on 3rd July.
