SERIES 2
 
Ballykissangel's new priest is not everything the community expected. Father Peter Clifford is English, looks about twelve years old and isn't afraid to confront his superiors if the need arises. Father Clifford's biggest challenge, however, is winning over the fiesty, atheist, bar owner, Assumpta Fitzgerald.

 
Assumpta begins to warm to Peter when he gets cast as her love interest in the village play, but there's a rival for her affections. Enda Sullivan is a small-time musician who Niamh thinks would be a great boyfriend for Assumpta. Unfortunately she has other ideas. Kathleen finds out what a difference community spirit can make when a fire starts in her house.

Peter is forced to make a choice between his feelings and his work. It's a situation he can't live with, but his change of heart may have come too late.

 
There are new arrivals all round as the pub gets a new owner, the town gets an new priest and Siobhan and Brendan get a new baby. Father Aidan O'Connell has come straight out of the monastery and his sister Orla is just back from her travels. While Aidan sets about impressing his congregation by performing a miracle, Orla helps Brian with his latest business venture - a golf club.
