Rev J Holmes resigned from Fahan and Inch on 31 December 1958 and was installed to Castleblayney and Frankford on 29 January 1959.  There he ministered until his death on 12 July 1982. 

Knowhead was added to Fahan and Inch during this vacancy.  Rev Robert Nelson Stewart was installed.

The service at Fahan was held at 11am and the minister lived at Knowhead.  In 1959 the Sunday school children excursion was the United Churches excursion train to Portrush. 

Rev Stewart proposed to start family socials with one in November and one in January with no charge with everyone helping to provide the tea.  It was held on 27 November had a small charge of 1/6 for adults and 6d for children as a film projector was fired and it was held in the church hall.  

The young people had their socials on October, December and February.  It was decided to get an electric organ and there was not a Christmas Hamper.  

A fireguard was bought for the fireplace in the vestry. 

On the Sunday before Christmas the collection was for the Hungarian Refugee Fund.
