Tributes and messages of goodwill have been pouring in for Fr Colm Ó Gallchóir who celebrated 50 years in the priesthood with a special Mass in his home in Gaoth Dobhair last weekend.
It was a beautiful occasion where he was joined by family members and friends to mark his Golden Jubilee.
One of the most touching features of the celebrations was Fr Colm’s beautiful handmade linen vestment which was lovingly designed and embroidered by his late sister Méabha.
Photographer Tommy Curran was there to take some photos of the special day.
