| Summary | "My New Curate" by Patrick Augustine Sheehan is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Father Dan, a parish priest in an Irish village, and his experiences as he receives a new curate, Father Letheby, whose modern and energetic approach to ministry contrasts sharply with Father Dan's more traditional and resigned existence. The narrative explores themes of faith, the hardships of rural life, and the relationship between clergy and their parishioners. At the start of the book, the reader is introduced to the emotional departure of Father Dan’s old curate, Father Laverty, who leaves the parish for a new assignment. The accompanying sadness sets the tone for Father Dan's reflections on his life and the challenges that lie ahead with a new, unknown curate. Father Letheby arrives with enthusiasm and a passion to invigorate the parish, and his modern ideas quickly clash with the established leniency of the local community. This friction in expectations creates an engaging dynamic, hinting at the transformation both priests may undergo as they navigate their differences and the realities of their shared responsibilities.
