Bishop Emeritus leaves the Diocese and enters into Retirement

After almost 8 years residing in and leading the Lancaster Diocese, the Rt Rev Patrick O’Donoghue left his Apartment at Cathedral House, Lancaster at 7.30am this morning to begin his retirement in his native County Cork, Ireland.
Yesterday after meeting new Bishop of Lancaster, Rt Rev Michael Campbell OSA, the Bishop Emeritus spent the day making the final preparations to his departure. Bishop O’Donoghue who formally retired as Diocesan Bishop on 1 May, will begin a new phase of his ministry as a priest serving on supply for the Diocese of Cork & Ross, particularly in West Cork.

Note: Bishop O’Donoghue will be visiting his family for the next few weeks before taking up a
residence in West Cork. When the Bishop’s Office has this address it will be posted on the Emeritus Bishop page of the Diocesan website.
