On the Feast of the Immaculate Conception the celebrant of High Mass was Fr Ryan McAleer, CC, a recently-ordained priest of the Archdiocese of Armagh. This was Fr McAleer’s first Solemn Mass in the More Ancient Use of the Roman Rite. Afterwards Fr McAleer gave his first blessings to the congregation. We wish him many years of fruitful ministry in the Lord’s vineyard under the mantle of the Immaculate.
