Rev. Fr. Kevin Casey S.J.

I am grateful to have met Fr Kevin at Guardian Angels- as Fr Mike said “he was a good man” and so he was. A wonderful, holy, humorous man, humble and gentle- that brought so much to his homilies. I also went to see him, when after close to 20 yrs he was moved to St John’s. Then I saw him at St Marks. What a blessing he was in my life. He could answer any kind of scripture or theological question I had (no matter how odd). I was happy to hear how he became a Jesuit and other stories. He always answered my questions. I have missed him since he left here. I was so sad to hear he was ill and subsequently passed away. I watched the livestream service for him from Ireland. My condolences to his family and community and the many people who loved him. He will never be forgotten.

Our deepest condolences to Fr. Kevin's family, the Clongowes Wood College community, and all who were close to him. We had the great fortune to know him during the several years he was at Guardian Angels. Fr. Kevin was always warm and caring to our family, and his sense of humor always lifted our spirits. We visited him from time to time when he was at St. John the Evangelist, and he always took the time to see us after Mass. We'll always cherish our time with him in California, along with our email exchanges even after he moved back to Ireland. We consider him a spiritual Father to us. Years ago, he gave First Communion and Confession to our daughter, and just last year he remembered our daughter at Mass on the occasion of her Confirmation. We truly love him and we pray for his soul.

Fr. Casey gave the sweetest most joyful celebration of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass to us at St Mark’s in San Marcos, California. Thanks be to God for his life and service to all.

Deepest sympathy to all Kevins family and friends. He performed the christening of my son Killian in 1993. He was a wonderful man and every time i met him with his colleagues from Greendale Declan Mick Cormac Ronan Kengie we always enjoyed the time with K C.
May you rest in Peace Kevin.

I knew Fr. Kevin Casey, when he was attached to Belvedere College in the late 1960s as a Jesuit Scholastic. He accompanied us of the school tour of Spain and Portugal in the summer of 1968. He and Fr. Jimmy Moran ensured that we had a truly fantastic holiday on that occasion.
My condolences and sympathy to the Casey family and the Jesuit community at Clongowes. Go dtuga Dia suaimhneas síoraí dá anam agus go lonraí solas suthain air. May God grant him eternal rest and may perpetual light shine upon him.

My condolences to Mr. Michael Casey and family in the passing of Fr. Kevin. I met you when you sat at dinner with me and my family at Guardian Angels. He had told me a little more detailed story of his decision to go into seminary. He was so wonderful and so kind. He was gentle and had a great sense of humor. I know Fr. MIke told me he was a “good man” and so he was. I know he is in heaven now and I have no doubt Fr Mike was waiting for him there. I have kept a picture in my room of his farewell at St. Marks which I attended. I remember him daily and will keep him in my prayers and you as well -

Rev. Fr. Casey, may you rest in peace and eternal light shine upon you.
We loved your leadersip at St. JohntheEvangelist, San Diego.
🙏 😇 🕯

Sincere condolences to Fr Kevin’s Jesuit community and his family.

I remember Fr. Kevin well when he was Spiritual Director of the altar servers in St Francis Xavier’s. He was always very kind to me and all the other servers with his guidance and encouragement.

I remember too his infectious and wonderful enthusiasm to involve children and young people at the children’s mass on Sundays in St. Ignatius’ Chapel.

My faith is strong today in part because of these wonderful experiences with Fr Kevin.

May he rest in peace.

I am so sorry to hear of Fr. Casey's death. I was his cantor at St. John the Evangelist in San Diego for about two years. He was a very kind and gentle man with a great sense of humor. He was always very kind and supportive of me, and I will retain wonderful memories of him and our times together.

My sincere condolences to Kevin's family, friends and Jesuit community on his passing. I first met Kevin in Skerries Golf Club and was delighted to have played some golf with him including a couple of OC outings in Milltown Golf Club. He continued as an overseas member when he went to California and we looked forward to his return each year. Many of his friends in Skerries GC will be saddened to hear of his passing.

Deepest condolences to Father Casey's family and friends, he was a huge part of my school life in Greendale C.S may he rest in peace

I was so sad to read of Father Kevin's passing. I have fond memories of him as a curate and later Parish Priest in Gardiner Street and it is wonderful to read the tributes from his Californian parishioners who were lucky to have had him for so long. He was a lovely man who did so much for the people of Gardiner Street parish. Deepest sympathy to his family and friends.

Our prayers to our Lord for his mercy on the soul of his beloved son, Fr. Kevin Casey. We came to love and appreciate him for his beautiful ministry to our parish community in San Marcos, California.
Eternal rest grant on to Fr. Kevin, oh Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

Prayers and thoughts are with you all at this sad and difficult time.

Sincere sympathy to Kevin's family, friends and confreres on their sad loss. I knew Kevin as a colleague; and can confirm that he was held in the highest esteem by his students and colleagues for his kindness, empathy, compassion and loyalty. Moreover, he was funny, witty and, charmingly, mischievous. He will be fondly remembered as one of nature's gentlemen. May all who grieve his passing find solace and enrichment in the memories he has left them. Go raibh leaba aige i measc na Naomh.

Deepest sympathy to Michael, Geraldine and Casey Family on the sad passing of Fr. Kevin. May Fr. Kevin rest in peace.

Sympathy to family and community on loss of Kevin, a good and just man.

My sincere condolences to Kevin’s family and community on his passing. I remember a young Kevin from the 60s and 70s in Belvedere, when (I think) he may have been at his scholastic stage, and he was a kind energetic teacher, rugby and cricket coach, whose goodness went on to have profound impact on many people’s lives.

What a lovely man Kevin was I always found him to be very respectful while I worked with him back in the 70s in st Francis Xavier church in Gardiner Street may he rest in peace.

Fr Kevin was Mammy’s cousin. Eithne McEveney sadly passed away in July last year, but she often referred to Fr Kevin and his family over the years. Sympathies to Michael and the extended Casey family. Nuala, Eithne’s only daughter.

My sincere condolences to Kevin's family and all the Jesuit Community in Clongowes. Despite his illness, Kevin led the annual Clongowes Union Easter Retreat last year. In a modest, low-key way, he gave us the benefit of his theological insights and demonstrated his deep humanity with his pastoral concern for all. He was a "man for others". May he Rest In Peace.

Kevin has taken his place in Heaven.

So sad to hear of Fr. kevin,s passing.
Condolences to all of Fr.kevin family Jasuit community and all of his friends.

Really sad to learn of Kevin's Passing. I knew him well when we worked together in the 1960's in the Belvedere Newsboys (now Youth) Club. He was a great person, always in good form and was very popular with the boys in the Club. He did tremendous work and we were very sorry when he left us to continue his Priestly work in other parts of the World

MY DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO MICHAEL AND ALL KEVINS FAMILY R.I.P

Your journey has come to an end and we are joyful that you are now at peace with our Lord and no longer suffering. We miss you, your sermons, your wit and having you as a friend. God bless you Fr. Kevin

Father Kevin's final parochial assignment was at St. Mark's Parish in San Diego County, where he served as associate pastor.

"We priests do put quite a bit of effort into our homilies, you know," he shared one Sunday a few years ago. "We do so with the hope that it might provide some bit of guidance or encouragement to the people in the pews."

He went on to explain that a few years earlier, he'd struggled more than usual, but at last had come up with a homily that tied the Gospel reading with the epistle and Old Testament reading into a timely item going on the world at the time, and was feeling not a little proud of himself for the effort.

After Mass, as he was greeting the departing parishioners, one woman stopped and told him she just loved the sermon! "So I asked her if there was a specific part she'd found most rewarding," he recalled, only to have her say, "Oh, I couldn't understand a word of it - but I just love listening to your Irish accent!"

But that was Fr. Kevin - he took his faith in our Lord Jesus Christ very seriously - himself, not at all seriously.

At 8 a.m. Mass today, Feb. 3, at our Mission church where he often said Mass in his last years here, he was remembered in both the intercessions and by the celebrant. He is missed.

Our deepest condolences to our brother Jesuits in the Irish Province and to Kevin's family. Kevin ministered here in San Diego for many years, and was a member of our community. He was much loved by the parishioners in the various parishes where he ministered. May he rest in peace.

Very deepest sympathy to Fr. Kevin’s family and Clongowes Community on his sad passing. We will keep him in our thoughts and prayers at this time.

Sincere and deepest sympathy to Fr. Kevin's family, friends and the Jesuit Community on the sad passing of Fr. Kevin.
Fr. Kevin with the warmest smile and the kindest heart.

For the Anniversary Masses you offered for my Parents and my Brother i say a special thank you.
You stole our hearts when you came to Clongowes and we will all miss you.
I will remember you in my daily prayers. May Fr. Kevin's Kind And Gentle Soul Rest In Peace.
Caroline And Ann Ennis.
