Our beloved Parish Priest Canon Bernard Donovan, was laid to rest just in the gate of Cloughduv Churchyard
********

Canon Bernard Donovan, a native of The South Parish, was ordained on November 9th 1974, at The Reparation Convent, Summerhill South, Cork, in the chapel where he had served Mass as an altar boy.
After ordination he served for a time in St. Patrick's Parish, Cork, and in the following year, he was appointed curate at Gurranabraher.
Between 1979 and 2003, Canon Bernard served for 15 years during three terms on the Cork and Ross Diocesan Mission in Trujillo, Peru. In between, he was curate in Carrigaline (1986 1992) and curate in Clonakilty (1998 2000).
Following his time in Peru, he was on sabbatical in the US for a year before returning home to be appointed Parish Priest of Schull in 2004. His ministry was later extended to include being
Administrator of Goleen.
In October 2008, Canon Bernard was appointed Parish Priest of Kilmurry Parish and came to live in Cloughduv. In September 2022 he was appointed Co-Parish Priest in the Family of Parishes of Bandon, Enniskeane and Desertserges, Innishannon / Knockavilla, Kilbrittain, Kilmurry and Murragh and Templemartin.

May he now rest in the peace of the Lord.
