CELEBRATION OF ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT - March 2007
Guest of Honour: Fr Austin McGirr PP
Fr Austin McGirr was appointed to Portstewart as Parish
Priest in April 2006. He was "surprised and delighted - like a
lottery winner" and has quickly settled into the community. Fr
Austin was ordained for Down & Connor in 1971 and Portstewart is
the eighth parish in which he has been asked to serve.
Originally from east Belfast, Fr Austin attended St. Malachy's
College before training for the priesthood at Carlow College
seminary.
Since coming to Portstewart, Fr Austin has become a Dominican
- by joining our Board of Governors. He describes two particular
passions - a hunger for renewal in the Church and a fondness for
music from the best era of all - the 1960's.
