Fr. Eddie GRIFFIN

So sad to belatedly hear of Fr. Eddie's passing. 60 years ago I married my wife Rita on the day that Eddie said his first Mass in St. Joseph's, Berkeley Road, just across the road from his home and from the Mater Hospital where we served together as altar boys under the watchful eye of Sr. Damien. Our Mass was usually on the 6.30am 'shift'! Fellow altar servers were Johnny Downes, Fran Byrne, and Jimmy Stanley. On Eddie's advice we also shared the front bench in class in Plás Muire as he said the Brother only watched the guys at the back! He was a credit to the priesthood and will be greatly missed by all who knew him. Ar dheis Dé a bheidh a anam dílis. RIP.

Deepest condolences on the passing of Fr Eddie. He married us in September 2000 in Enniskerry when based at St Monica’s Raheny (we were living abroad by then). We have lovely memories of our interactions and debates with him at the time and we have fond memories of Meeting him Over the years too. May you rest in peace now Father. Xx

We extend our sincere condolences to Fr Eddie’s family, friends & colleagues in his ministries. The Traynor & Downer families were given much needed consolation by Fr Eddie at very sad times in our lives. He had a wonderful way of connecting with young and old. May his kind and gentle soul rest in peace.

So sorry to hear of Fr Eddie’s passing. He married me and my husband 27 and a half years ago. We renewed our vows when we were 25 year married and Fr Eddie carried out the service. He was such a lovely lovely, funny man it was an honour knowing him. May he Rest In peace.

So sorry to hear of Fr.Eddie's passing Such a lovely pleasant man

Thank you Fr. Eddie for your faithful service may you R.I.P

Thank you Fr. Eddie for your kindness to me - taking me on my first trip abroad to Lourdes with my mum and sister, for writing to me when I was in boarding school, how I loved to get those letters and for looking after me, together with your mum and dad, when I left home to work in the civil service. I remember Tom taking me on the bus from Berkeley Road to Ely Place on my first day in the Valuation office. May you now rest in peace with Margaret and your mammy and daddy. Your cousin,

Our sincere deepest condolences goes to all of Fr. Eddie’s family & Friends May he rest in peace.

Tá oidhreacht shaibhir fágtha ina dhiaidh ag an Athair Eddie. Bhí an t-ádh linn aithne a chur air. Duine croíúl, lách, cineálta a chabhraigh go mór na sacraimintí a bhronnadh ar pháistí na scoileanna lánghaelacha i mBré. Ní dhéanfar dearmad ar gach a rinne sé.
Go raibh leaba i measc na Naomh aige.

So sad to hear of the passing of Fr Eddie who l had the pleasure of being sacristan for several times for mass. Sincere sympathies to his family. Sadie O'Connell, Sacristan, Enniskerry Church

Rest in peace Fr.Ed

Sincere sympathy to all of Fr Eddies cousins and relations,he was a most wonderful kind and sympathetic man and i had the privelge of meeting him many times during my visits to Bray.May his gentle soul rest in Peace

Bhí aithne agam ar an Athair Eddie nuair a bhí sé anseo i dTeach na Giúise. I mo thuairimse chleachtaigh sé tréithe neimhe nuair a bhí sé fós sa saol seo: é géarchúiseach faoi na dea thréithe a d'aimsigh sé i ndaoine agus ag árdú a misnigh dá bharr. Leathnaigh sé lúcháir an Spioraid Naoimh. Tá a anam naofa fós ag guí ar ár son.

Comhbhrón ó chroí do clann an tAthar Eddie. I give thanks for Fr Eddie and for his priestly ministry in Loughlinstown. He was a man of vision and courage, and the parish center " The Cherith" stands as testimony to his commitment to building community and bringing people together. I have fond memories of my time with Fr Eddie and fellow parishoners on a trip to the Holy land which he helped to organise. Gach beannacht ort Fr Eddie, agus go raibh maith agat

Comhbhrón le muintir agus le cairde Eddie. Leaba i measc na n-aingeal.R.I.P

I mbaclainn Mhuire I bhFlathais Dé go mbíodh tú don siorríocht a athair Eddie; is mór ar fad an chaill dúinn uilig do bhás.

Sorry to hear of Fr Eddie's passing. He was a wonderful priest and worker in St Monica's parish, Edenmore. We will remember him with the fondest of memories.

Fr Eddie was a truly wonderful priest. During Covid being able to watch him celebrate the 9.30 Mass via the internet was the highlight of my week. He was a wise, kind, humble, compassionate, and Spirit-filled man, who often spoke of the love he had for his own family. He served God and the community so very well, and we could never thank him enough.

All of us here in St. Peter's Parish are feeling the loss of a truly wonderful priest and friend. Our lives have been enriched by his coming to live among us. Fr. Eddie was a very compassionate man who never judged and always left you with a smile on you face. His Mass in Irish at 9.30 on a Sunday was a chance to hear his wise words and he shared his faith in God which was so deep with us. Mass always ended with a humourous saying or a little joke. We are all better people for having known you Fr. Eddie. It was a great privilige to have worked with you. Rest in peace now with your beloved parents and Margaret, safe in the arms of Jesus.

The family of the late Monsignor Dermot Clarke offer sincere condolences to the Griffin family on the passing of Fr. Eddie. They studied for the priesthood together In Clonliffe College.May Fr. Eddie rest in Peace.

Fr Eddie Griffin was one of the most beautiful priests we had the pleasure of having during his appointment in Holy Cross parish Dundrum. He brought joy and happiness to his ministry. He was greatly loved and appreciated in Dundrum. We were all very sad when he was given a new appointment but from reading the lovely condolences he continued on in the same style in his next appointment. I remember that he always held a small crucifix in his hands while hearing confession. He had the most gentle and kind soul. There was always a cue for Fr Eddie on a Saturday. So lovely to see all the tributes as Gaeilge to Eddie. The last time I met him was a few years ago in Dunnes Stores in Cornelscourt. He still had time for a chat. Sincere sympathy to his family on a huge loss.

R.I.P Fr.Eddie, you certainly gave the congregation a few laughs during your sermons, very witty and very devoted.

So sad to hear of the passing of Fr. Eddie. May he rest in peace.
