​Bishop Mwongela returns to Lough Derg for a visit along with Fr Jeremiah who worked here last season. Bishop Joseph himself made the 3 day pilgrimage and also worked on the Lough Derg team as a priest over several summers while he was studying in Rome. He values the warm links between the dioceses of Clogher and Kitui that began in the 1980s when Clogher priests volunteered in the young Diocese of Kitui, including Fr La (1994-98) and Bishop Larry Duffy (1998-2002). In recent years, priests from Kitui have been coming to assist in Clogher. Fr Jeremiah is currently ministering in Bundoran, and Fr Patrick is spending the summer on the Team at Lough Derg.
