A Tyrone-based parish priest who was acquitted of indecent assault is to return to his role in the ministry.
The Diocese of Derry has confirmed Father Eugene Boland will resume his ministry at a vigil mass this Saturday.
Fr Boland stepped aside on 15 August 2010 on foot of allegations made against him.
Two years later Fr Boland was found not guilty of five charges of indecent assault.
In a statement the diocese said legal proceedings in both the civil courts and in a Church canonical process have been completed.
