Fr. Ignatius Waters, c.p.

Fr. Ignatius came to Mount Argus 32 years ago as Parish Priest and Rector but because the community was so large (60 men including many students), he did not have much role in the parish.  Most of his life in ministry has been in teaching, including the formation of Passionists students, and in Provincial administration and has always had a longing to work with 'normal' people! 

He went to South Africa in 1998 to do that but ended up again with students and as Regional Superior.  When he returned to Ireland in February 2006, he worked for a year and a half in Avoca, Co. Wicklow and for one year in the nearby Wicklow town of Greystones, at last doing normal priestly work that he loves. 

Fr. Ignatius returned to Mount Argus in September 2008.
