Fr. Michael Whalen took over in 1992. Again
he built upon the good practice that existed
in the parish liturgy however he continually
called us to question what we were doing and
examine different and alternative ways of worshipping.
His informal style, always rooted in the traditions
of the church, strove to bring the church closer
to the people - particularly the young. Through
his work with the other churches in Crook, he
sought to make the church and its liturgy relevant
to everyone. After a comparatively short time
in Crook he was moved to the very large parish
of Blackhill.
