Jubilee Celebration for Dalgan Class of 1973

On Saturday 22nd April 2023, the Dalgan class of 1973 celebrated the 50th anniversary of their ordination to the priesthood.

While celebrations also took place in Fiji and the Philippines, here in Ireland three Columbans came together to celebrate the happy anniversary.

The three were Frs Jim Fleming, Gerry Neylon and Declan McNaughton. They gathered in Fr Jim’s home parish of Castleisland, Co Kerry for Mass and were joined by Columbans Frs Tom O’Reilly and Paul McMahon.

Fr Jim’s nephew, Fr Larry Ryan from Brooklyn Diocese, and Castleisland parish priest, Fr Mossy Brick, also took part in the liturgy.

Ad multos annos!

We also remember Frs Joe Walsh and Roddy Grealish who are sadly deceased.
