Fr Mackey shows his medal

Back from his visit to the US, Fr Niall Mackey was in Halverstown NS today, where he was persuaded to pose with his medal from the half-marathon he ran in Columbus, Ohio, last weekend.

According to Gerry O’Donoghue who met him today, and took the photos, Fr Mackey was happy with his performance. “But he wryly observed that in his ‘younger’ days he completed full marathons in less time than he completed last Sunday’s event.”
