Expression of Sympathy
We would like to take this opportunity to express our sympathy to the family and friends of Fr. Patrick Mc Shane (as he was known) who departed this life on Monday evening last. Parishioners and all who knew him will miss his presence from the entire area. He was a popular Priest in Townawilly and was also fondly remembered in various other parishes where he served. After a short illness the Lord called him to his well deserved reward. May his soul rest in peace.
