The pope has appointed Fr Denis Nulty PP VF as the new bishop of Kildare and Leighlin.
Fr Nulty spent ten years in Cathedral House in Mullingar during the 1990s as part of the Mullingar parish clerical team, before being appointed to serve at St Mary’s Parish in Drogheda as parish priest, becoming, at the time, the youngest parish priest in the country.
He now becomes the youngest bishop in Ireland.
Known for his stature, Fr Nulty was fondly dubbed “the high priest” during his time in Mullingar.
