Fr. Frank Bray MSC

I was so sorry to hear of Fr. Frank's passing. He was my tutor in KCS and he was a wonderful teacher and support. I've thought of him fondly over the years. He was clever, funny, cheeky, generous, loved a good argument and a friend during tough times. Fr. Frank also reached out after we left school and I know I wasn't the only past pupil he thought of. My condolences to his family and friends on the loss of a lovely man.

Fr Bray, was such a memorable priest from my childhood in Killinarden, Tallaght back in the 90s. Many of us still think so fondly of him. He was a great laugh too. May he rest in peace.

My sincere condolences to Fr Frank's family and the MSCs.

Fr Frank has been an Angel to me when he was our Parish Priest in Ofcolaco, Tzaneen Diocese of South Africa. He personally took me under his wing and taught me many things in life. He is the one who taught me Computer, Administration, and English. I approached him with a request to learn Computer, and he came to my house to meet my parents to get their permission to teach me before he could agree to my request, and that was the start.

We used to play many different games - where we will compete by naming all African countries and their capital cities, then their leaders, then geography and science matters as well. From then my love for current affairs began. Every time we met, we would catch up with what is going on in the world.

Fr Frank played an important role on my faith. The foundation he laid on me is unshakeable. I am now who I am because of his contribution, and I still appreciate what he did to my life.

May Our Good Lord Bless His Soul and Let Him Rest In Peace.

So sorry to hear of the passing of Fr Bray. I met him in Carraig Na bhFear in the 90's. A real genuine guy, proper Dub!!!
RIP

My tutor throughout secondary school in Killinarden Community School in the mid 80's. Such a wonderful, witty, kind, intelligent man, looked after us all so well as we grew up as teenagers. Always looked out for us. Took no messing! A divil for the cigarettes! A great storyteller and teacher, took us on camping trips, had tea and biscuits after mass every Saturday with us as a group. Taught us valuable life lessons, and I was very fond of Fr Frank. Was our school chaplain too and helped so many students. Great memories and I was honoured to have him christen my first born son. Rest in peace Fr Frank, thanks for all the fun times, you were a legend, a gentleman, one of a kind person, and the world was blessed to have you in it.

Sister Gabriel and the Bray family. Our deepest sympathy and prayers on the death of Fr. Frank. Our thoughts are with you at this sad time.
We fondly remember with affection Fr. Frank's visits to St. George's Retreat here in Sussex.
May he Rest in Peace.

Was the priest at our wedding and christing of 3 of my children such a gentleman and very funny too may he rest in peace

Rest in Peace Frank. Thank you for the joy you brought to all who had the privilege of encountering you on life's journey. Treasured memories will keep you alive in many hearts. Holding your family in prayer.

God rest you Frank. Gone too soon. I will miss your laugh, your smile and your divilment.

Rest in peace, Frank. Your passing leaves a deep sadness in my heart. You were more than a family friend you were a source of wisdom, kindness, and faith, especially close to my mom and gran and to all of us who were blessed to know you.

As an MSC priest, you lived your vocation with great devotion and humility. You inspired so many through your gentle presence and your quiet but powerful witness to God’s love. For me personally, you played an important role in my own journey of faith, religious vocation and I will always be grateful for the guidance and encouragement you shared along the way.

You touched countless lives, not just through your ministry but through the person you were compassionate, faithful, and full of grace. Though it is hard to say goodbye, I find comfort in knowing you are now at peace, resting in the embrace of the Lord you served so well.

Thank you, Frank, for the blessing you were in this world. May you rest in eternal light and joy.

I am so so sorry to hear this sad news. Fr Frank and myself worked many years together at the MSC Promotion Office in South Africa. He was a great person and devoted priest. I learned a lot from him and we had many deep conversations. I will truly miss him. But the Lord has taken him. It was his time. He is now reunited with his dad, his mom and brother and other family members. May you rest in peace my dear friend. You are Home now with your Father 😔 Never forgotten. I carry you in my heart. Very compassionate and very encouraging and understanding when I went through terrible times in my life. You supported me and my family when times got really tough. But there were also times we laughed together, shared jokes (which you were so good at, a true entertainer too), we also worked hard together, we shared deep conversations, and were together on conferences. You left your footstep on my life's path. You were not only a Priest, my boss but in the first place you were a dear friend and I will never ever forget you. May you dwell now at your Father's place and have eternal peace. Please keep watch over us. One day we will meet again dear Fr. Frank. Thank you for having been in my life for so many years. It was an honour to have known you. My prayers are with you and your loved ones and your confreres at the MSC. Rest in Peace.

My condolences to Fr Frank's family and the MSC family. It has been a gloomy day after learning about his death. Fr Frank may you rest in peace and in the presence of the most Sacred Heart of our Lord Jesus Christ . I will dearly miss you for being a father and brother to me. May your genorosity, good sense of humour and forgiving heart speaks volumes for you before our Lord Jesus.

So sorry to learn that Fr Bray has passed away. Our sincere condolences to all of his family and his confreres in The Missionaries of the Sacred Heart. He was very good to Éamonn and Cathal when they attended boarding school in Carrig na Bhear during the 1980’s . May you Rest In Eternal Peace Fr Bray.
