It is with a sense of deep shock and sadness that I have to inform you that Canon Michael McCoy died on Saturday 10th April 2021.
This is a time of great grief for Canon Michael’s family, his friends, his parishioners and for our whole Diocese. I would ask you to pray for the repose of his soul, and also to keep his family in your prayers at this most painful time.
With every good wish and blessing
+Robert
Rt. Rev. Robert Byrne CO
