Monsignor Peter V. Briscoe

Father Peter was such a kind, friendly and warm man. He holds a very special place in my heart as he helped me to prepare for my wedding and baptised our two daughters. He will be missed by so many in the parish on which he left so great a mark and to who he taught so much. My heartfelt sympathies to his family.

Deepest sympathies on death of Monsignor Peter. Our condolences to the family. A wonderful Priest.

Sincerely,

I was so deeply saddened to hear of the loss of Fr Briscoe and extend my warmest sympathies to his family.
I first met Fr Briscoe when he was in Sandymount. As a result of listening to his intelligent, meaningful sermons, and generally just making attending mass a much more rewarding experience, I asked him if he would oblige by marrying us.
Fr Briscoe would not have known us that well as we were only living in Sandymount a short time but he made our marriage a very special occasion. I always remember him referencing – Katie Melua’s, Nine million bicycles in Bejing as part of his sermon in a perfect way. He was very up to the minute.
Later I was living in Blackrock but managed to get back to Milltown just to hear him say mass again.
I am sorry to have missed his funeral but really wanted to also acknowledge what a wonderful priest he was and that he made such a difference.

Our Sincere Condolences to Patricia Kay Anne families, friends & Colleagues of Fr Peter .Very sad news ..We remember Him with great fondness, 8 yrs ago when we called him to see our Dad John in his last hours to pray with us ,and comfort Dad.
Our many memories of you all as our great Neighbours next door ..May Peter rest in peace with his Parents .
The Patterson Family ..

To the lovely Briscoe family, remembering such wonderful neighbours in Clontarf, my deepest condolence on Peter's passing. Although not in his parish we have been hearing about his work from admiring friends over the years. He is a big loss to his family, his parishioners and the Diocese.
With love from Yvonne O'Gara and family

My deepest sympathy to the family, friends and colleagues of Fr Peter. I was very fortunate and privileged to have worked with him in Sandymount as principal of Star of the Sea BNS for many years. A great loss.

We offer sincere condolences to Fr Peter’s family and friends. He was really someone who made a difference. He was a kind, learned and warm man who created a lovely atmosphere In Milltown parish and was so helpful to our family’s, and my mother Carmel in particular, in the loss of all four of our parents in recent years.may he rest in peace.

My deepest sympathy to the family, friends and colleagues of Peter. His scholarship is rightly acknowledged, as are the many acts of kindness he extended as a faithful servant of the Lord. I had the privelege of knowing him since seminary days. Not everyone knows of his exploits as a second row on the all conquering Clonliffe team of '69 to '72. (truthfully - we won two games in that time.) But they will never be forgotten.

To: The Briscoe Family and colleagues, friends and parishioners of Fr. Peter. A great loss to the Diocese of one who brought the Scriptures to life and showed such compassion and gentleness to others. May he rest in peace.

Deepest sympathy to the Briscoe family on the death of Mons. Peter. We had the honour of him marrying us in Castledermot nearly 18 years ago and we always remember him fondly. He was a gentlemen, and had so much time for everyone he met - he will be missed. Rest in peace.

So sorry to lose such a lovely gentleman he was very kind to all who met him i was lucky to have worked with him in milltown parish and centre sending love to all his family may he rest in peace in God's arms x

Deepest sympathy to the extended Briscoe Family on the death of Fr.Peter. He was a wonderful teacher and dedicated priest. I remember him particularly from his Clonliffe days.

I remember Fr. Briscoe from his time in Sandymount and particularly for his kindness and care for my mother in her last years. May he rest in peace.

Anne, and all the family. Deepest sympathies. I know the recent path has not been easy. He is at rest now.

You are in the thoughts, and his soul is in the prayers.

Our sincere condolences to Mgn. Peters family and friends. He was a quiet, considerate and thoughtful person. Always listened carefully and sympathetically to everyone but was decisive when necessary. He was a genuinely nice person and his sermons on Sunday were knowledgeable and informative but easy to understand. He was a wonderful pastor and administrator. We were blessed to have him. A man who truly lived the Christian life.

For bringing me back to the Church . Thank you . Im forever grateful .
Rest in Peace

My condolences to all Peter's family and relatives. He is fondly remembered by all priests who were his students as a kind, gentle, considerate and very calm person. He radiated a great love for the Scriptures and we were blessed by his shared knowledge, prayerfulness and priestly ministry. Ar dheis De go raibh a anam dilis.

Warm memories of the many wonderful and wise homilies given by Fr Peter - a great pastor to all. May God grant him eternal rest.

We offer our sincere condolences to Monsignor Peters family. He was a noble, gentle and very thoughtful man. At very short notice he stepped up to marry us. My mother ( Sheila Glennon, Longford) was especially delighted as she discovered Peter was a distant cousin. He laboured long and hard on behalf of his parishioners. May he rest in peace.

It has been such a privilege and pleasure to have lived beside Fr Peter the last few years. He was kindness personified and was always so pleasant even during his illness. We are very sad to hear about his passing and thinking about his very caring family at this time.

We are saddened to hear of
Fr Peters passing May he rest in peace.

Peter has been a teacher, rugby enthusiast, priest, guide and model for me and all of us blessed to be his student, colleague, friend and co-diocesan priest. Peter stood taller than most and his physical stature was but a sign of his being a giant in our world. He rarely lost his composure, and radiated a calmness that made every challenge manageable. His loss is deeply felt by all who knew him and we now commend him to the God he served so well, may his gentle soul abide in heavenly light for all eternity. May his sisters, family and friends be consoled by trusting in the God of love who Peter knew so well.

Rest in peace Fr.Peter

We have many great memories from your time in Malahide Parish.

My condolences to Fr. Peter’s extended family and to his very many friends. Fr.

Ar dheis De go raibh a anam dilis.

I’m deeply saddened at the death of Fr Peter, his loss is huge, as he brought compassion, integrity, knowledge of the scriptures and so much more, with unselfish dedication, to his ministry in Milltown. We were privileged to have had him in our midst and were
greatly affected when we learned of his ill health. That his suffering is now no more, is a consolation, knowing that his gentle soul is resting in the peace and love of the God he served so well. RIP

Sincere sympathy to Fr Peter's family. He was such a wonderfully warm and sincere person, who made everyone feel welcome and put them at their ease.
