![]() (source : Frances Murphy) Working our way from the centre of the altar we have Archbishop Gray, in front of the newly-ordained Fr Gerry Wynne. In front of Gerry is Fr Stoker, preceded by Fr Quille (left) and Bishop Monahan (right) . Brother John Kempston is just above the priest at the front (who could be Fr Marchant). Eugene MacBride is behind Br John and Fr Packy Harrity is at the front, at Fr Marchant's right. (Eugene and Packy were ordained 3rd February). Return to Top |
