Fr John McDevitt P.P. Our Lady of Lourdes,
Steelstown & Director of Formation
We offer our congratulations to Fr John McDevitt who
has been appointed Parish Priest of Our Lady of
Lourdes, Steelstown in Derry and Diocesan Director of
Formation. We do so with heavy hearts as it draws to a
conclusion six and a half years of a very diligent and attentive ministry in this
Parish of Drumragh. We thank him for his great service here in all aspects of
parish life. We wish him well and every blessing in his work in Steelstown parish
and in his care for the priests in the early years of their ministry in the Diocese.
Fr Dermot McGirr CC Drumragh
We offer a warm welcome to Fr Dermott McGirr to the Parish of Drumragh. Fr
McGirr was ordained to the priesthood in 1999. His first appointment was as
curate in St Mary’s, Creggan in Derry, followed by appointment as CC in 2007 to
Three Patrons Parish, Galliagh, Derry. He leaves Galliagh now to come to us and
we assure him of our prayers for a fruitful ministry among us here in Omagh.

Collection for the Sisters of Nazareth
The annual Sisters of Nazareth collection is
normally taken up annually in the parishes
in February. There is a special envelope
for it in your envelope boxes, dated 2nd
February. A diocesan decision has been
taken to discontinue this collection, due to
the Nazareth House in Derry closing down
in early September. You are asked,
therefore, to disregard this envelope.
Please note there will be no second
collection on this day either.
