Fr Raymond O Connell O.S.M

I only learned today of the death of Fr. Ray OSM,s I wish to pass my condolences to his family and the Servite community.
Ray and I entered the Servite Novitiate in 1968 and were students together until 1974. I and my family have such fond memories of the the unique Ray.

Prayerful Sympathy to the O'Connell Family and the Servite Colleagues on the death of
Fr. Raymond. I note that he died between the Feast of the Assumption and the Feast of the Queenship of Our Lady. In his own life, Fr. Ray, a Servant of Mary would have often
spoken glorious things about our Mhuire Mháthair. "She is a sign of sure hope and comfort for God's pilgrim people" - as the Prayer to Our Lady of Knock describes her.
Fr. Ray - in the words of the Communion Prayer for the Feast of the Assumption "is brought to the glory of the resurrection."

Deepest sympathy to Peter Kathleen Helen Mary Pat and all the O'CONNELL family on the passing of Fr Raymond may he rest in peace.
