Acknowledgement
Heartfelt thanks from the Bradley Family for the
generosity of the parishioners from the Drumragh
and Cappagh parishes following the very successful
coffee morning and street collection last weekend.
The amount raised was £3,525. The incredible
support received from both sides of the community
in the Omagh area is very much appreciated by Beth
and Rosa and will go a long way in supporting them
in their volunteering work in Africa this summer.

Message from Fr Kevin McElhennon Adm
W
e are deeply saddened by the news of Fr Eugene’s resignation. The past three
and a half years have been a very difficult time for each and every one of us in this
parish, and not least for Father Boland.
With this news, it is clear that all of us in Cappagh are now moving into a period of transition. It
is true that transition is difficult, it is confusing and disorienting, but transition also holds before
us an opportunity for new beginnings and growth. In the face of the challenges that most
certainly lie ahead, let us support one another in love and in prayer. Let us move forward into
the future with gratitude for the great blessings we have been given as a parish, knowing that the
Lord guides and sustains us.
So that the parish can move forward, and for other reasons that we have just heard in the
statement, and not least for reasons personal to him, Father Boland has offered his resignation. I
hope that a new Parish Priest will be appointed as soon as possible after Bishop Donal
McKeown’s installation as our new bishop next Sunday. In the meantime, until a new Parish
Priest is appointed, I have been asked to resume the administration of the parish, which, in the
circumstances, I do with great sadness but willingly.
We thank Father Boland for his years of ministry among us in Cappagh and for the many gifts
God has blessed him with through which he ministered with such dedication to the people of
our parish for many years. Let us pray for him, for one another and for all who are affected in
any way by this situation.
Installation of our new Bishop
We pray in a special way for Bishop Dónal McKeown who will be installed
as the Bishop of Derry today. May the Holy Spirit work through him as he
answers God’s call to serve the people of the Diocese. We look forward to
welcoming Bishop Dónal to Cappagh soon.
Confirmation 2014
This Saturday Bishop Francis Lagan will Confirm 100 children in the parish. A
truly joyous occasion where the Holy Spirit seals the covenant made at Baptism.
We pray that the gifts of the Sacrament unfold in the children and enrich their
lives for the future. A rehearsal for the children will take place on Thursday, 17
April at 7pm in Christ the King. Note that there will be no morning Mass or
Confessions in St Mary’s (KC).
