Pastoral Area

The four Parishes of Ballincollig, Ballinora, Ovens and Killmurry are grouped together in the Diocesan plan announced in 2008. In all there are 13 cluster groups. Meetings were held during the year to work towards setting up a Committee, in each cluster group, that would lead the process into the future.

Bishop John Buckley appointed a Co-Ordinator of each group.
Each parish in the group has a clergy and lay representative.
Fr. Dave O’Connell, Ballincollig is the Co-Ordinator of our group. There are 3 lay representatives from each Parish, all clergy from each parish, plus a rep. from any religious group working in the Parish.

Services in each Parish are open to all the other parishes.
