Sincere condolences to the O'Doherty family on the death of Father. Donal - as we always called him. A wonderful Parish Priest, We were blessed to have had him for so long.He was remarkable for his belief in involving the laity to develop and actively contribute to shaping Holy Cross parish. A wicked sense of humour and love of parishioners, young and old, played a mighty (one of his favourite words) part in supporting many of us in difficult times.

Donal, your great work here is done. Rest in Peace..

Our family have been parishioners of Holy Cross for over fifty years. In that time the parish has been blessed with some wonderful priests & Monsignor Donal was certainly up there with the very best.
