Hartstown's gain




Next weekend in St. Mary's Parish, we bid a very sad farewell to our Parish Priest Fr Joe Coyne. Fr Joe has been in St Mary's for the last 7 years. He has been a good friend to me and many others and has touched the lives of many in the parish with his selfless attention to those bereaved or troubled in any way. I could fill this page with the good he has done, his passion for justice, his ability to laugh and joke and make light of a situation when frustration might have got the better of you. He leaves behind him a legacy of care and love.


"May God hold him in the palm of his hand".
