Killoe, Drumlish, Clonguish, Longford, Killashee (7)
Cashel, Rathcline, Ballymahon, Carrickedmond, Kenagh (5)
Edgeworthstown (Mostrim), Rathowen, Streete, Legan, Ardagh (4)
Athlone, Moate (8)
Ferbane, Clonmacnois, Cloghan, Ballinahown (7)
(Highlighted parish to be Centre; number of priests per grouping in brackets).
Group Ministry:
Grouping to be run as a big parish, priests having their own areas, living in the area, but working as a team in the whole 'parish' as in Athlone.
A group leader/administrator/co-ordinator to be appointed.
Duties and responsibilities to be shared.
Focus on ministry rather than supply of Masses.
