New Chaplain

We are delighted to announce that Fr Gerry Magee will be our new chaplain from the beginning of September. He’s from the diocese of Galloway in Scotland.

We thank you for all your prayers and support especially the priests who have been celebrating Mass for us since our former chaplain, Fr Ted Wildsmith, retired after Easter.

Here is a little word from him:

“ I am Father Gerard Magee, a priest of The Diocese of Galloway, Scotland. I was for 14 years, a Benedictine Monk, professed at Ramsgate in Kent. I am grateful to God for my time as a monk. I had an invaluable formation which has benefited me throughout my life. In life, God leads us in many directions, and every journey we take is meant for us.

Now I begin a new journey here at Brownshill. I consider myself to be blessed in having time to pray, read and be silent in this very hallowed place.”

Fr. Gerard Magee

Please continue to pray for Fr Gerry and for the community.
