Fr Mulgrew has also complied a book to coincide with his ordination to raise money for charity. The book entitled ‘Does God LOL (Laugh Out Loud)’ includes contributions from the late Frank Carson and other famous names just as Ricky Tomlinson and Jo Brand.
All proceeds raised from the book will go towards Mary’s Meals, a Scottish charity which supplies a daily meal and education to over 700,000 children every day.
