Father John Carroll
On the last Thursday of each month The Worldpriest Global Apostolate is hosting a virtual Rosary Thursday.
In 2002 Pope John Paul II invited Catholics to pray the Mysteries of Light on Thursdays. These mysteries focus on the public life of Jesus .
A priest of the diocese of Ferns, Father John Carroll was ordained in 1991. A native of Wexford town, he attended the local St. John of God and CBS schools, prior to studies at UCD and Maynooth from 1984.
Following nine years at Saint Aidan’s Cathedral in Enniscorthy, he became diocesan secretary and chancellor for the diocese in 2000.

In addition to these duties, Father John has fulfilled the duties of being curate at Ballaghkeen, (2002 to 2006), curate at Barntown (2006 to 2018) and he is currently the parish priest of Glynn, Barntown, a parish on the outskirts of Wexford.
Administration has been a major feature of Father John’s life over the past 21 years, but his full time parish duties bring a balance to his life as he is priest to two churches, chaplain to two schools and a nursing home and as he fulfils the daily requirements of priesthood in a parish today, namely the celebration of Mass and the sacraments, pastoral and social availability to parishioners, the ongoing work of engagement and development.
