Canon John Murphy

It is with great sadness we announce the death of Canon John Murphy, PE, who passed peacefully from this life with family in the care of College View Nursing Home on Monday 16th December 2024 in his 58th year of priesthood.

 

Beloved son of the late Mollie & James Murphy.

Tar éis bás, tá an Canónach Seán Ó Murchú, go suaimhneach lena chlann ina thimpeall.

Mac le James agus Mollie.

Is cúis mhór bhrón a bhás dá dheirfiúracha Maureen (Jim) agus Kathleen (John), a dheartháir Paddy (Nora). Cailliúint mhór a bhás dá nianna agus neachtanna, Nóirín, Caitríona, Siobhán, Fionnuala, Pádraig, Bláithín, Mary-Rose, Seán, James & Yvonne, a gharnianna agus a gharneachtanna dílse, a ghaolta agus a chairde go léir, a Easpag Martin Hayes, a Easpag Emeritus Leo agus a chomhshagairt na Cille Móire.

Bá shagart dílis, lách agus cinéalta é an tAthair Seán sna paróistí ina raibh sé ag obair, An Cabhán, Coill An Choillaigh agus An Chill agus múinteoir den scoth i gColáiste Phádraig. Bhí meas agus grá aige dá phobail agus ag na pobail dó.

 

Suaimhneas Síoraí dá anam uasal.
