It was with belated sadness that I learned of the death, on Thursday 1st August 2024, of Very Rev Frank Canon O’Connor, Late of St. John’s Cathedral Parish, Limerick and Lansdowne Park, Ennis Road, Limerick, Co. Limerick.
Pre-deceased by his parents Vincent and Tess, his brothers Paddy and Tommy; the former Co-Parish Priest of St John’s Pastoral Unit of Parishes, Limerick and former President of St. Munchin’s College, Limerick, passed away peacefully, while in the care of staff at Milford Care Centre, following a short illness.
His passing is most deeply regretted, sadly missed and lovingly remembered by his sorrowing family; sisters-in-law Alice and Margaret, nephews Vincent and his wife Aislinn and their sons Markus and Robbie, his nieces Catherine (and her husband Stuart) and Gilly, Bishop Brendan Leahy, Bishop Donal Murray (Bishop Emeritus), Priests of the Diocese, extended relatives and a large circle of friends both in Ireland and in New Jersey USA.
Requiescat in Pace.
The earthly remains of Fr. O’Connor reposed at the Church of Our Lady of the Rosary, Ennis Road, Co. Limerick on Monday afternoon last, August 5th, from 5:00pm until 7:00pm.
Requiem Mass for Fr. O’Connor was celebrated on Tuesday last, August 6th, at 12:00 noon, followed by interment in Mount St Lawrence Cemetery, Spital-Land, Limerick.
Donations in lieu of flowers, if desired, may still be sent to Milford Care Centre.
The extended O’Connor family wish to express their appreciation for your understanding at this difficult time, and have made arrangements for those persons wishing to send messages of condolence, to use the link shown HERE.
