We have been with you at Fr. Paddy's Funeral Mass online. So sorry we can't be with you.As his first cousin I was an Altar Server at his first Mass in Rathgar. On a visit to our home some time ago Fr. Paddy left with me some papers relating to the family tree in which he had a big interest in lhis later years. A wonderful man. May he rest in peace.

Treasured memories of a special man of a special time.He was so instrumental in the devolpment of the young boys of Arklow.Rest in peace Fr. O Reilly.

I am saddened to hear of Fr Paddy's death. I was an altar server in Glasnevin when Fr Paddy served there in the 60's. He was a wonderful priest and friend to me and so many of my peers.
He brought me to Glenstal Abbey at the time that he was discerning his vocation as a missionary and I was about to enter the Marists. We had many happy times together and corresponded frequently when he was in Kitui. May the Lord reward him for all the good he did. RIP

Our deepest sympathies to Fr Paddy's family and the Kiltegan Fathers on their sad loss. Fr Paddy was a wonderful friend, colleague and ally of Madeleine and the SMG sisters during their time in Kenya. That will never be forgotten. May Fr Paddy rest in eternal peace.

On behalf of the Dublin Diocesan Ordination class1958 I wish to offer our sincere sympathy to the O'Reilly Family and the St Patrick's Missionary community on the death of Fr Paddy May the Lord reward him for his dedicted years in ministry and grant him eternal rest

I first came across Fr O Reilly in the Arklow Tech.in the late 1950 s when he was a part time religious teacher.. As well as parish duties he was responsible for setting up a Boys Club (The girls were looked after by the nuns in the Girl Guides) Living in Rural Arklow I was unable to join the Club and shortly after took the EMIGRANT BOAT to England. Through a good friend in Arklow I was kept up to date with what was happening back in Arklow. Father o Rielly organised Annual Camps to verious parts of Ireland, tapped the local business community for funds and sponsorship and directed drama & musicals to raise money for a new roof on the Church !,! Being a member of the Kiltegan Fathers I believe he went to Africa as a Missioner. ARKLOWS LOSS AFRICA'S GAIN . RIP

Deepest sympathy to Fr. Patrick’s family and to all the Kiltegan priests. May he rest in peace.

A great loss. A life dedicated to God. R.I.P.
