THE COUPLE THAT PRAYS TOGETHER STAYS TOGETHER.
Fr. Johnny Doherty, C.Ss.R.
December 22nd – 28th 2024
Mary’s Child: the Prince of Peace
Elizabeth said: ‘Blessed is she who believed that the promise made to her by the Lord would be fulfilled’. This week we celebrate the wonderful feast of Christmas. Mary is by far the best person to teach us what it is about as she was very central to the first Christmas.
The Sunday morning congregations in Ballyscullion, Bellaghy, and Greenlough were all saddened by the news of the death on Saturday evening, 26 October, of Fr Liam Donnelly, aged 85. Fr Liam had celebrated the 60th anniversary of his ordination to the priesthood in June of this year, and had been helping out regularly in the churches of our parishes for a number of years, having served in the parish of Bellaghy/Ballyscullion from 1977-1981. A native of the parish of Lavey, he spent his retirement in the house where he had been born and raised.
Fr Liam will be missed by all those who knew him, those who benefitted from his long and fruitful priestly ministry, his colleagues, and many friends. His death will be a great loss to his last surviving sibling, Mrs Philomena Fullan, to his entire family circle to whom he was very close and dear, and to his housekeeper, Orla. We offer them our deepest sympathy.
He will be remembered in these parishes for his lively sense of humour, his short but meaningful homilies, for his friendly waves, and charming smile.
