As I come to the end of my Ministry in the Parish of Magherafelt & Castledawson and move into retirement I want to express my sincere thanks to priests and people of the Parish and beyond for their support and co-operation over many years. I thank the many who were able to attend the Mass on Wednesday evening and those who organised the Mass and cup of tea in the Parish Centre. My thanks to Fr. Gates and Mrs. Roisin Clayton, Chair of the Parish Pastoral Council, for their kind words and to the many others for their support and good will received over the past few weeks. I pray God’s blessing on the whole community and continued growth and success in Parish life. We pray for each other. Christopher O’Byrne
