Deeply sorry to hear of Father Connolly’s death. He was a kind, humble man of God. He was parish priest while our children grew up. We were all very fond of him. Ray and Patricia Bassett

My sincerest condolences to the family of The Very Rev Diarmuid Canon Connolly. A lovely gentleman and a devout servant to the parish and church. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a hanam.

Liam O’DuibhirParishioner

He will be sadly missed by many in the parish of Castkeknock. We grew up with Fr Connolly and he was part of the fabric of the community. He was very good to my mother and visited her every week at her home in her last months and presided over both my parents funerals. He will be missed.

Add your condolences...

Deeply sorry to hear of Father Connolly’s death. He was a kind, humble man of God. He was parish priest while our children grew up. We were all very fond of him. Ray and Patricia Bassett

He will be sadly missed by many in the parish of Castkeknock. We grew up with Fr Connolly and he was part of the fabric of the community. He was very good to my mother and visited her every week at her home in her last months and presided over both my parents funerals. He will be missed.
