A word of welcome from Bishop Ger:

Dear Reader,

Céad Míle Fáilte romhat!

You have arrived at the diocesan website for the Roman Catholic Diocese of Ferns in the South East of Ireland. We are 49 parishes in Counties Wexford and Wicklow encompassing 96 individual faith communities. I hope that in this website you will be able to find something that will help you today or in the future.

It describes the people who are involved in the life of the diocese and some information on the work that is taking place to prepare all of us to be the presence of Christ in a rapidly changing world.

It is also a source for people seeking information and assistance with the safeguarding of children and vulnerable  adults. If you notice any error or omission on our website please notify communications@ferns.ie and we will rectify it.

I wish you every blessing from the ancient See of St Aidan.
