Sincere sympathy to the Minihane families, the Augustinian order and to all who mourn the sad passing of Fr. Mark (Sean). He was a very special person to so many of us and will be sorely missed. It was lovely to meet the Augustinian fathers at the funeral this week and to hear such wonderful stories of Fr. Sean's kindness, generosity, humility and steadfast faith - a true example to us all of a life well lived.
To us he was very special as he married us in 1968, and 50 years later came to our home to celebrate mass and renew our marriage vows on the occasion of our Golden Jubilee. A special occasion made all the more memorable by having Fr. Sean there with us again.
He received an amazing send-off from his fellow Augustinian priests earlier this week with the funeral mass being especially beautiful, said by his special friend from Hoxton, UK. It was a privilege to be present at it.
May you rest in peace Fr. Sean.

Sincere sympathy to the Minihane family an extended families on the passing of Fr. Seán. May he Rest In Peace.

Today, 28th August 2025, is the feast day of St Augustine. On this day fifty years ago I entered the Augustinian order as a novice and Father Mark was my novice master and then later my student master. I have nothing but very fond memories of Father Mark. He was always cheerful, kind and very patient, a great man.

Our sincere condolences to Fr. Mark's (Seán) family and Augustinian community on his passing. We have many memories of Fr. Sean's visits home to Lislevane and had the pleasure of Fr. Seán marrying us in Our Lady Star of the Sea Church in Barryroe in June 2002. May his gentle soul rest peacefully in Lislevane.

We are deeply saddened by the news of our beloved Fr Mark.

Thank you, Fr Mark, so very much for your services and dedication to your faith.

Thank you also for your guidance and for blessing us all with spiritual fullfilment and love.

We are deeply grateful for your
unwavering support and encouragement to my siblings and I in playing our musical instruments during celebration of mass over the years and as our spiritual leader along side Fr Paul Graham (of blessed memory), Sr Agnes and Fr Gabriel at St Monica's RC Primary school.

You gave yourself wholeheartedly to us at St Monica's RC Church in Hoxton, London, United Kingdom and led us in leadership in humility and obedience to God, Jesus Christ.

You will be missed dearly.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
May our prayers guide, Fr Mark's soul to our Heavenly Father

Fr. Sean, you were the kindest and gentlest soul. Though we grew up an ocean away from you, you were always a loving and peaceful presence in our lives. When I was a little child on one of your many trips to visit us, you gave me a teddy bear and blessed him for me. You did the same for my son when you met him. I always felt you were watching over me from afar, and you were there for us during the hardest of times. We will miss your calm presence, your beautiful smile, and your wonderful sense of humor! You were the model of faith, love, and service. We are deeply grateful to the Augustinian community, who were your family and took such good care of you, as well as to Michael and Lilian McCarthy.

All our love, the Minihane-Tikhtman family — Sheila, Vladimir, Anya, and Emmett

Sincere condolences to Fr. Seán's family, many friends and his Augustinian Confreres.
Fr. Seán was a family friend and my late father looked forward to his visits when he returned home. They enjoyed reminiscing over times past. He would share stories of his times abroad, and my father would inform him of all the latest news in the parish.
When our house was newly built, he called to see us and blessed the house as well as saying a prayer for our unborn child, as Siobhán was pregnant with Íde. He had an air of holiness about him and had such a gentle nature.
Fr. Seán epitomised the priesthood. He was openly approachable, wholeheartedly kind and outwardly showed his very strong faith.
He will be greatly missed by all who knew him. May he rest in peace.

Sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Fr. Seán, a kind and special man who devoted his life to his community and others, may he go to his eternal reward, RIP
