On June 9, 1982, at the invitation of the Bishop of Derry, Most Reverend Edward Daly, the Order of Discalced Carmelites established a new priory at St Joseph's Termonbacca, on the outskirts of Derry City. At a special Mass in the Long Tower Church, on the feast of St Columba, the Bishop and Priests welcomed the new religious community to the diocese.

Prior: Rev Sean Conlon, OCD. Number in Community: 5

The priests are available for confession each day. They also conduct days of prayer and recollection for groups of priests, sisters and laity from all over the diocese.
