FR COLM O’RYAN, R.I.P.
We were deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Fr Colm – in his 72nd Year of Priestly Service to the Lord. To his parishioners in the Church of the Good Shepherd Beverly Hills, and to his family here, we offer our sincere sympathies and prayers.
“Well done, good and faithful servant”.
May He Rest in Peace.
CONGRATULATIONS…..
…to Danny, J.P. Eoin and Rian who were awarded the Gold Award in the Pope john Paul II Award ceremony last Wednesday in Waterford by Bishop Cullinan. We thank them and their families for the support and care they have shown to our Parish Pastoral Area. We are so proud of these and so many young people in our area who regularly assist at Mass in so many ways.
Well done!
