Election of new President and Vice-President of AMRI.
AMRI is delighted to announce its new Executive Council. Fr. Joe McGee MSC has been elected President and Sr. Barbara Murphy IBVM will serve as Vice-President. Both paid tribute to the outgoing Executive Council under the leadership of Fr Tim Lehane SVD and Sr Mary Hanrahan PBVM.
Fr. Joe is from Donegal and was elected Provincial of the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart in 2023 – second time around!
He was professed in 1985 and ordained in 1986. He has exercised his pastoral ministry mostly in England serving as parish priest and school chaplain. He also served his community as formator for several years. He may be better known to some as a member of the Team of the RFMP course in Loreto House where he spent five years, an experience he appreciates very much. He looks forward to working closely with AMRI and with the support of the Executive Council he will endeavour to serve the wider membership to the best of his ability.
Sr. Barbara is from Wexford and is Provincial of Loreto Sisters in Ireland. She made first profession in 1977. She has served in a number of ministries and leadership positions.
The other members of the new Executive Council are Sr Breege O’ Neill RSM, Fr Brendan O Rourke CSsR, Sr Irene Balzan MMM, Sr Anozie Ndidi Eucharia MSHR, Fr Jim Noonan OCD, Fr Michael O Sullivan Mafr, Denise Flack Viatores Christi.
