Fr Mackey celebrates 55th anniversary of ordination

Fr Mackey is a serial marathon runner. He is pictured with his Columbus Half Marathon medal in 2016.

A reminder that a presentation will be made to Fr Niall Mackey this evening,  Saturday, to mark the 55th anniversary of his ordination, writes Brian Byrne.

It will take place at 7.30pm outside the Parish House, before the evening Rosary at the grotto.

The celebration will be a socially distanced affair, and Fr Mackey will be given a cake, a card, and a small gift, organised by parishioners. The usual May Rosary will go ahead at 8pm.

Fr Niall came to Kilcullen in 2013, replacing Fr Michael Murphy. There was a much more extensive celebration of his Golden Jubilee in 2015, which can be recalled here.
