PARISH Priest Father Arthur Mulcahy has retired from St Ambrose Barlow RC Church, Astley.
Father Mulcahy, 75, held his final mass at the Astley church on Saturday -- 10 years to the day since he began his ministry there.
During his time at St Ambrose the parish hall was built, an outdoor cross monument was erected as part of his millennium project and the church was refurbished.
Father Steve Cooper and Father Ron Johnson are responsible for St Ambrose as well as Atherton St Richard's and Sacred Heart at Hindsford.
