Fr. Martin McAlinden Parish Priest

I was born in Lurgan, attended St Anthony's and St Peter's Primary Schools, and St Michael's Senior High Lurgan. After studying at Maynooth I was ordained on 24 June 1990 and was appointed curate in Newry.

I have also worked as chaplain at Newry Hospice and in the following parishes: Saval, Drumgath, Tullylish and Banbridge.

From 2000-2002 I lived in Chicago and completed an MA in pastoral theology at Loyola University. In 2005 I completed a Master of Ministry degree in Supervisory Practice at Milltown Institute Dublin.

I was appointed Parish Priest of Moyraverty in 2004.
