Fr Brendan Smyth C.S.Sp

Thank you, Brendan for all you have been to me, for the good times we shared, for the friendships, for the music. And most of all for being you, for LIVING life, not just passing through as someone put it so well. Adieu

I am shocked and deeply saddened to hear of Fr Brendan’s death. I met Brendan when he was studying for his Masters. I work in Blackrock College and typed his Thesis for him. He was a gentleman and although I hadn’t seen him for about 20 years he popped into the office last year to say hello. My deepest condolences to his family and the Spiritan Community.
