Congratulations to Canon Patrick O’Sullivan, a retired priest of the Diocese, who is celebrating the 70th Anniversary of his Ordination to the Priesthood at this time.

Canon O’Sullivan was ordained in 1955 and served as an Assistant Priest at St Peter’s Hamilton, All Saints Coatdyke and St Mary’s Whifflet and as Parish Priest of St John Ogilvie’s Blantyre and St Andrew’s Airdrie from where he retired in 2008. Following his retirement Canon lived for many years in St Mary’s Whifflet before moving to Summerlee Care Home.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Canon O’Sullivan as he reaches this special anniversary. We give thanks for his priestly ministry and ask for God’s blessing upon him.
