Show Notes
Only 13 men will begin their studies for the priesthood this autumn. The number is down from 21 last year and takes the total number of Seminarians for the country’s dioceses to 77. But just why is this number falling? Pat discusses this further with Fr Paddy Byrne, Parish priest of Abbeyleix, Co Laois.
