Rt. Rev. Mgr Michael Olden P.E.

RIP

Déanaim comhbhrón ó chroí leis an gclann. Fear uasal ba Mgr Olden a thug cabhair go fial dom nuair a bhí mé ag obair san Roinn Oideachais & Scileanna. Chomh maith le sin thug sé tacaíocht iontach dom' chlann nuair a bhí sé ina shagart paróiste i gCluain Meala. Ar dheis Dé go raibh Mícheál.

Comhbhrón le clann Olden ar bhás Mhichíl.

It was with great sadness that I learned of the death of Mgr Michael Olden. I extend my sincere sympathy to all his family and many friends and above all to the clergy and people of the Deise country. I have many personal memories of him from my years in Maynooth. Above all I remember his great humanity and his common decency. I greatly enjoyed his history lectures, you could almost hear the sound of some of the great church people about whom he spoke, such as Mannix and Cullen, striding up the lecture hall, such was the clarity and vivid nature of his presentation.
May he enjoy the reward of his labours.

Sincere condolences to Rev. Olden's family and friends. A brilliant historian who was generous with his time and knowledge and a great speaker.
Joanne Rothwell, Waterford City and County Archivist

Sincere condolences to the extended Olden family on the sad passng of Mgr. Michael. Fond memories of his great homilies over the years. May Mgr. Michael rest in peace.

Sincere sympathy to all of Msgr Michael's extended family and friends on his recent death. Be assured of a remembrance in the Masses and prayers of the Irish peacekeepers here in Syria during this difficult time.
I spent my first four years of priesthood working in Clonmel with Michael and I learned a great amount during those years. Michael, at a funeral, would often say that while we pray for the dead to rest in peace, his hope was they they would be active in peace. May Michael now be active in the peace of the heavenly kingdom as he prays for us all. Go ndéana Dia trócaire ar a anam dílis.

Fond memories of Fr Michael, both in Maynooth and in the diocese. He was a man of deep faith and an inspiration to all.

Sincere Sympathy to the family of Right Revd Monsignor Michael Olden, who was a great friend of the late Nellie Cliffe Cappoquin, and gave a wonderful address at her memorial service in St Anne's Church, Cappoquin in 1997. On a few occasions Mgr Michael joined me for ecumenical weddings, also travelled to give clerical talks in Fiddown rectory, which were all very special and I will always remember and treasure the warmth and friendliness of his visits. Viewing his Funeral Service from
Mount Mellary today I said farwell to a very special priest, a great academic, caring and understanding all traditions. May Michael rest in peace and rise in glory.

Deepest sympathy to Monsignor Oldens family and friends. He was truly a wonderful priest and an inspiration to everyone he was involved with. A brilliant man he had the common touch which endeared him to so many. He was a man who was ahead of his time in many ways and he will always be remembered by the Kilsheelan Kilcash G.A.A Club for making the parish church available for the launch of the club's history, not alone that but he launched the book himself with and address that was inspirational and covered the history of the club, the parish, and the GAA in general from its foundation. May he rest in peace.

I offer my deep gratitude to Michael for the richness of his example during my time as a student in Maynooth. May he be accompanied on his journey to the eternal home by the prayers of God's people, especially those whose lives he touched and enriched. May he rest in the company of the God.

Wonderful memories of Monsignor Olden in Kilsheelan/Kilcash Parish. Brilliant orator and erudite but with the common touch. We could listen to his sermons all day. Rest in Peace

With heartfelt sympathy on the death of dearest Mon .Michael Olden to all his dear relatives, friends and parishioners whom no doubt will feel a bright light has only been dimmed, a light that will now burn brightly in the heavenly realms. He was so wise,deeply kind and always thoughtful. As Parish Priest of Clonmel St Peter and Paul's Church and as Chaplain to Scoil Mhuire na NAingeal we could always depend on him to enrich so many special occasions with staff and pupils- bringing great joy and humour when appropriate but most of all tremendous wisdom and consolation in times of sorrow and difficulties fior families. I know Mons.would like us to give a little word of sympathy to all the Vets. Who took such care of his feline friends. Sr. Bernadette Sweeney
