It was the end of an era as Longford priest Fr Ber Hogan marked his retirement with a Mass and special community event in Drumlish after 52 years in the priesthood.
The celebration was held in Drumlish Community Centre on Sunday, November 8.
Fr Hogan also celebrated his Golden Jubilee in 2024.
Longford Live photographer Shelley Corcoran captured this gallery of photos from the tribute event for Fr Ber Hogan in Drumlish and we hope you enjoy them.
