A Very Happy Birthday to Fr. Paddy O’Byrne

On this Feast of Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary, 7th Oct. 2022 Canon John Fitzgerald, P.P. revealed at the beginning of the 7.30pm First Friday Mass that today is Fr. Paddy O’Byrne’s 87th Birthday.   Fr. Paddy concelebrated Mass with Canon John which was in memory of the late Eily May, Brendan and Connie Hickey.   After Mass we photographed Fr. Paddy with members of the Hickey Family.  We also learned from Diarmuid Murphy that the late James Anthony Murphy would have been 34 on this Friday also.   Tap on the images below to enlarge.  (S.R.)
