Former broadcaster Shaun Doherty ordained as priest
One of the north-west's best-known broadcasters has swapped the studio for the altar.For more than three decades, Fr Doherty had hosted a chat show on the County Donegal-based Highland Radio.
"Hopefully, my story will be a source of encouragement for people that there is always hope because of the goodness of God. His love and generosity is boundless and never ends."The Bishop of Derry, Donal McKeown - who officiated at Sunday's ordination - said Fr Doherty was joining the priesthood at a challenging time for the Catholic Church.
