Parish priest, 74, dies

A CORK suburb is mourning the death of a popular priest who recently celebrated his Golden Jubilee.

Fr Brian Magee, 74, parish priest of Sunday’s Well, died last Monday at Marymount Hospice. He had been ill for some time, but had continued to serve his parish until his health deteriorated.

Fr. Magee was a native of Portadown, and was a member of the Vincentian Order. He came to Sunday's Well, as parish priest in 1997 after a long period of service at St. Patrick's College, Drumcondra, Dublin.
