FR Brendan Duggan has been on the missions in Ethiopia and Kenya but he is putting down roots in Athea.
The parish priest was gifted a rare monkey puzzle tree which has been planted in front of the church. All it is missing is a member of the simian family.
“We’re looking for a monkey now,” joked Fr Duggan. That would make quite the picture for his nephew and photographer, Brendan Gleeson, who took the image above.
