We are delighted to extend a very warm Ballygall welcome to Fr. Kevin Bartley and wish him every success. 

A Phibsboro native, Fr. Kevin initially served Glasthule, Baldoyle and Sutton Parishes as curate. He has very special memories of his time working with disabled children in St. Mary’s Hospital, Baldoyle. He was appointed Parish Priest of Clonskeagh Parish in 2009, and before moving to Rush in 2017, served briefly in DCU and Newman University Church, Stephen’s Green.

A member of the Dublin Preparatory Committee for the 50th International Eucharistic Congress, Fr. Kevin has also been a member of the Dublin Diocesan Council of Priests.

With a long-standing interest in the history of his city and diocese, Fr. Kevin was asked by Bishop Raymond Field to undertake an editorial role on the Veritas publication, “Penal Places, Artefacts and People in the Archdiocese of Dublin.”

Please remember Fr. Kevin in your prayers as he embarks on his role as Moderator of our Partnership of Parishes with responsibility for Ballygall & Iona Road.
