The valley Catholic community is mourning the loss of one of its most beloved priests this weekend.

St. Patrick's Church in Hubbard announced on Facebook Saturday that longtime pastor, Father Tim O'Neill, had died. He served as pastor of St. Patrick's for more than 20 years, being with the ministry from 1992 until stepping down in 2015. He was 81-years-old.

"We rejoice in the confident knowledge that he is at peace," said the church in the Facebook post.

Father O'Neill was ordained into the priesthood in 1967 by former Bishop of Youngstown James Malone.

Funeral arrangements have not yet been announced.
