Rip Father Fintan

What a beautiful person. We will miss you so much. When we had just arrived from South Africa, you made us feel so welcome as a family. Your smile and gentle, kind ways made us feel part of the community.
What a loved and sorely missed person. RIP Father Fintan.
Penny and family. X

A gentle soul, who gave us great comfort when our mother died. Rest in Peace Fr Fintan

Grateful thanks for Fintans great and joyful spirit and his warm welcome. May he rest in peace

We are both very sad to have lost Fr Finton. He was an inspirational priest who dedicated his life to his parish and his people. He was never phased nor in other than good spirits. We greatly appreciated his regular attendance at the Friday evening “Our Lady of Peace (formerly Our Lady of Medjugorje) prayer group in Our Lady of Lourdes, Acton. He supported this group that was founded by the late Fr John Leahy and that continues as a memorial to him. We will all miss his company after Sunday masses when he would chat to all the parishioners in his unique fun filled fashion. May his soul rest peacefully in heaven. God bless you and farewell dear friend.

Thanks Father Crotty for all the effort you put into developing Sruleen parish in Clondalkin Dublin. It was you who helped build the church and school. From 1980 to 1991. Thanks, Go raibh maith agat. Ar Dheis Dé go raibh a hAnam dílis.

Dear Fr Fintan,
You will be sorely missed at Our Lady of Lourdes, Acton. You were a calm, kind and warm presence. Your smile was contagious and we are certain that you are now resting happily in your eternal home with the Lord.
God bless you and may you rest in perfect peace.

Celestina and Jackie Uzoka

Fr Fintan,I will always remember you for being a wonderful priest here at Holy Cross,Bedford.I first knew you from the mid 70’s in the parish.I have always valued your friendship down the years,your cheerfulness and dry sense of humour.I also enjoyed your company on the many times we played golf together,sometimes accompanied by Fr Jerry and Bishop Pat.We shared a love of sports,especially football ,rugby,and of course,hurling.You were fortunate to enjoy the golden years of your Kilkenny team that won so many AI titles.Hopefully Limerick will reduce the gap! Thank you for for always enquiring about how our family was doing.You will never be far from our thoughts.God bless.Ar dheisDe go raibh a anam.

Dear Fr. FIntan You were a true man of the people and you had time for everyone you met, but especially those in need. You loved people and made us laugh on so many occasions. Your humour and lovely kind gentle nature were unique and you will be sorely missed. You were a true gentleman with a lovely heart and soul. May God rest your beautiful soul. You will be missed more than you could ever have imagine. Our Lady of Lourdes will never be the same without you. xx

Beloved Fr Fintan with our Joshua ( Holy Communion )

Fr. Fintan was a man among men chosen by God to gently lead and guide his flock towards eternity. He walked the road of life showing compassion and kindness, faith and courage, appreciation and humility. How we will miss you Fr. Fintan, a true stalwart disciple of Jesus.
Our family was blessed to have you as a great friend from the cradle to the grave. You were there for the Sacraments of Baptisms, Reconciliations, First Communions and Wedding Ceremonies of our children to the heart wrenching Sacrament of the Sick and consoling Requiem Mass for my loving husband, Pat. A thousand ‘thank-you’s’, dear loyal friend.
A bright light has gone from among us only to radiate brighter from God’s heavenly home. An inspirational life well lived.
May your gentle soul rest in peace dear Fr. Fintan.

Forever in our hearts. ❤️
Sheila Lynch and family.

Fr. Fintan, your sudden death has shocked us all. You were a most kind, compassionate and caring priest, always with time to listen no matter how busy. You sense of humour, and ability to make people smile, even through sadness was an incredible gift. You will now reap the rewards of your labours and faithfulness to GOD whom I am sure has greeted you with open arms. You will be sorely missed. May you R.I.P dear Fr. Fintan.

Our dear Father Fintan, we will miss him so very much. He was so much more than our parish priest, he truly was a wonderful friend to our family. So kind, caring and gentle, he always brightened up our day with his smile, jokes and chats with often a mention of his beloved Oxford United Football Club. We will cherish the memory of our last mass with him on Christmas day. He will be forever missed and never forgotten. May he rest in peace and the Lord take good care of him ❤️

Let us watch our world with Fintan`s eyes. He has helped to open mine, together with his special smile. Great man and brother. RIP.

Fr Fintan agreat man , a great friend and now a great loss.May he rest in peace RIP

Dear Fr. Fintan, such a gentle and brotherly friend, I will always remember your sweet nature, your superfine example of kindness and love in action. I send my love and prayers to you, your family, and all those who are grieving. Dominus vobiscum. ☘️
You have left us indelible memories to cherish, and to inspire us onwards.

I will forever treasure your last beautiful Christmas card and message, emboldening me with such tenderness in my new widowhood.

I am so missing your peaceful earthly presence, and just knowing you are there, but I am delighting in your heavenly fulfilment.

You have enchanted and influenced so many with your special gift of quietly connecting to our lives, with your natural loveliness, your caring support, your sincere concern and assuring comfort after loss, and I know that your sparkling spirit will never ever be forgotten.
Rest in peace, my dear friend, Fintan, in God’s eternal love and light. Oremus.♥️❣️♥️

Father Fintan married my husband and I, in 1980 at St Augustines church in Daventry and he remained a friend ever
since. We used to visit him in Acton regularly and will treasure all the cards and letters he sent to us over the years.
A truly lovely man, we are both heartbroken

Death is nothing else but going home to God the bond of love will be unbroken for all eternity. We shall miss him so much. He was truly a very saintly priest and hope he will intercede for us in heaven. He was very close to us since he came to this church in Acton. We have so many memories, words cannot describe. Rest in peace Fr Fintan until we meet again. Marie and Stephanie.

Fintan … Thank you For your wonderful work… You was an inspiration to us all. It was always lovely to chat be that meeting in the High Street or have a cup of tea and a biscuit… You left us all with a wonderful warm feeling. You’ll be sorely missed…But never forgotten.

Dearest Fr. Fintan, you were a Godly example who was confident and a friend to all of us here in the parish of Our Lady of Lourdes, Acton. You served our parish with intelligence, grace and joy. Thank you for being so considerate and helpful especially during our early days into this parish. Your beaming light will be solely missed. As long as hearts remember, hearts will still care. We do not part with those we love, they’re with us everywhere. May your soul rest in peace.

As one of Fintan’s nephews, I knew all the comments and the priest’s homily regarding Fintan’s qualities to be true. Yet, at the same time, what you all have shared has brought new perspective to the depth of his personality and impact on others. What a joy for me – and I know many other family members – to read and hear! We got to see each other every 3 to 6 years or so. In May 2020, WhatsAPP became an open line of communication and we had kept more in touch in his last 8 months. Though family members were mentioned in the Funeral Mass, in many ways his closest family were the friends – religious and lay – and parishioners he lived with and welcomed on a day to day basis. In one of our last correspondences I shared a video of me cutting down a Christmas tree with my kids. He responded, “…notice they let Dad do all the work. How’s the back?” In letters he’d usually close with “And don’t work too hard.” Always laughter and keeping things light. His eyes were always on the prize. And like so many of you have said, he now has his reward in heaven. I’ll miss you Uncle Fintan.

A keen mind with an infectious zest for life, Fr. Fintan took a great interest in everyone and everything. Whether it be the fortunes of the Kilkenny hurling team or the political challenges facing our world today Fintan always took the side characterised by social justice, the common good and what was best for every individual. From following Oxford United to having a round of golf on his day off Fintan had remarkable energy and physical stamina alongside a great hearted kindness in abundance. Who else in their 80’s would help us move heavy bags, boxes and tins from our car up and down flights of stairs into the cellar of Emmaus house food store without getting out of breath?
As a family we will treasure countless fond memories of Fintan, too many to enumerate here. Suffice to say we recognise why the Sacred Hearts appointed him as vocations director early in his priestly ministry. Through his own personal example, witness and lifestyle he was, without doubt the very best advert for what religious life should look like and be on a lived daily basis.
Fintan, quite remarkably always found time and always made time in his own busy life to prioritise people. His record for visiting parishioners in their own homes or in hospitals (whether it was in Clondalkin, Bedford or Acton) was the stuff of legend but in all cases it was greatly appreciated and fondly remembered.
Being “a people person” was without doubt Fintan’s greatest and most endearing gift. By simply spending time with people, enjoying their company, walking alongside them and sharing in their lives he gave the very best witness to the Gospels. Without preaching or dogma he made Christ real and present to people in a relaxed, informal and non judgemental way.
Without words he demonstrated what faith and belief looks like in a practical sense (as well as the importance of “keeping the faith” for Mayo G.A.A. supporters like ourselves!)
In the midst of our loss at his passing we derive some solace from the knowledge that up until the very end of his earthly life Fintan did what he always did so extraordinarily well, namely giving of his time and his very self for others, quietly, discreetly, patiently and generously.
He truly lived out the charism of the order and especially that demonstrated by Saint Damien by being present to and for people, even in the midst of a global pandemic.
Fr. Fintan, it was a profound privilege to know you and a lasting source of comfort to have walked part way on the road of this life with you. Though your earthly ministry may be completed you will live on in the example you set us, in the love that you showed us, in the joy you shared with us and the goodness you brought into our lives.
Enjoy your heavenly reward prepared for you from before the beginning of time. May your gentle, funny and kindly soul rest in peace -now and for eternity. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.
With love, all good wishes and every blessing,
Mary, Karl, Declan, Fergus, Róisín McCloskey

I’ll always be grateful for Father Fintan for giving my dad the peace he needed at the end of his life by welcoming him into the Christian faith. RIP Father Fintan

Fr Fintan, you were truly an a amazing man, you were always a great support to my family and I and also a dear friend to us all. You baptised Joseph and gave my daughter Ava the most beautiful send off when she gained her angel wings .
You will be sorely missed by us and so many ! Our loss is heavens gain. Rest peacefully Fr and God Bless you
Charleyanne Leydon and family xxx

Father Fintan thank you for being there when we needed you, your lovely smile and sense of humour. You will be dearly missed. Eternal rest

Fr. Fintan – a gentle yet strong soul. Loving and caring to all. Above all faithful to his priesthood and vocation. That says it all!
Teresa, on behalf of the Leahy Family. Ar dheis De go raibh a anam dilis. May God have mercy on his beloved soul.

Dear Fr Fintan
A privilege to know you, to laugh with you, to smile with you. We will miss you

Remembering Fr Fintan for his compassion, kindness and great sense of humour. He will be greatly missed by a lot of people who will remember him, like us, with affection and respect. RIP Fr. Fintan

Rest in peace fr fintan.

Fr Fintan. Your welcoming and friendly countenance will be sorely missed in our parish. It was a pleasure to know you. You were a man so full of talents, that you shared freely. The thing I loved about you most was your sharp wit, which was legendary. I will miss you greatly. Your inner light shone bright. May you rest in peace, kind soul.

We have so many wonderful memories of Fr Fintan. Angie remembers when he came to visit one afternoon and the house was a mess, children running around and he sat down had a cup of tea and just chatted for hours! Angie never laughed so much in all her life at the shock of Fr Fintan turning up! Andrew remembers taking Fr Fintan to Twickenham to England vs Ireland (the last match to be held with a crowd before the lockdown), he went missing at the end and Andrew didn’t want to return to Acton without Fr Fintan, for fear of getting lynched for losing him! They found each other eventually! The children remember Fr Fintan and his jokes and stories at the beginning of his homilies. We will miss Fr Fintan. R.I.P.

thank you for always being there for us Fr Finian R.I.P

Dearest Fintan
Thank you for your friendship, guidance and love. We will always smile when we think of you: your wonderful, funny stories; your love of golf, cycling and Oxford United; and most of all your kindness, humility and joy. It has been a privilege to have been blessed by your friendship. Our loss is heaven’s gain. Ar dheis De go raibh a anam.

We have very happy memories of Fr Fintan. Always bringing good humour and cheer. Heaven is a better place today. May he rest in peace.

Thank you Fintan for all the tales you told me about your extraordinary life on our many trips to Oxford over the years. I was always amazed at whatever subject we discussed you had a tale related to share and have travelled to so many parts of the world.

We will miss you so much. Rest in peace

Words cannot say how much you will truly be missed Fintan – always believing the best in everyone and such a friend to me, to dear Bob who held you in the highest esteem, and to all our family. We were blessed by knowing you. May you rest in peace. Beryl

Fr Fintan was the first priest to welcome us to Our Lady of Lourdes parish when we joined 4 years ago. He noticed we were new faces and greeted us with warmth and kindness. Since then, it has been a pleasure to see him at the doors of the church, greeting the congregation every Sunday. He was a kind man who will be very much missed. May his soul rest in eternal peace.

I’ll never forget us driving to Morlake crematorium in your little old car – I wasn’t sure if it was going to make, but it did and we’ll always remember your kind words that day. We miss you so much. The Eatherleys

Dear Fintan,
We will miss your cheerful smile, wicked sense of humour and especially your compassion. So many people have said ‘he was such a gentleman’. And you really were – a gentle, kind genuine person. We will really miss you and our parish won’t be the same without you. I have been involved with Music Liturgy for 30 years and a Confirmation catechist for over 10 years, and you were always so supportive and appreciative of all we did.
May you rest in peace.

Fintan you brightened al our lives we worked together twice in Clones and later in Bedford. You were a great Boss partner and Friend. Every time we were together was special.I feel I am a better person for all my contact with you . I loved to see you come in and your way of being with so many is unique It has to be easy to Love a God Who made people like You Thanks for always including all of us only with you away do we know how good it was to have you here Jerry

Fintan’s warm greeting to all and his compassion when visiting the sick in hospital or in their homes was a gift to our parish of Our Lady of Lourdes. I will miss his sense of humour and the many yarns he would tell over a cup of tea in the presbytery. Fintan, you are sadly missed by Jim and Betty.

Fintan, you were one of the best.

Thank you Fr Fintan for the many visits to my home with Holy Communion. Thanks also for the kindness, the stories and the many laughs we had during those visits. You were my friend aswell as my priest and I will miss you dearly. May your gentle soul rest in eternal peace.

Fintan was such a large part of our family’s life for almost 30 years since the time he came to Holy Cross for his second stint. Very quickly finding out his love of football I was able to introduce him to the dubious delights of watching Oxford United and apart from his sabbatical year he came with us to Oxford as a season ticket holder and became a firm family friend. And then when I retired a few years ago I was able to join him most Mondays for a round of golf. How he loved his golf and regretted that at 85 he did not play quite as well as he did at 50 – mind you, he could still outdrive me even at 85! I just hope that at the gates of heaven St Peter handed him a new set of Ping clubs and pointed his way to all the fabulous golf courses that I am sure Fintan must have believed awaited him. With lockdown I don’t think I will truly realise he is really gone until golf courses reopen and he isn’t there and crowds return to Oxford and he isn’t with us. Yes he was a wonderful priest but also a wonderful, witty and caring friend. Rest in Peace dear friend.

Fr Fintan was such an amazing person and priest. We always enjoyed chatting to him and loved his great sense of humour. We will miss him immensely. We are keeping his family and the Sacred Heart community in our prayers. Fr Fintan R.I.P

I met Fintan when I was a priest in the Northampton Diocese…I played golf with Fintan and his good friend Pat Lynch. I valued his friendship and support. As part of the diocesan golf group Fintan saw it as a way of supporting his fellow priests. I will always remember him for that.
I am now retired living back in my home village in Donegal. May he rest in peace.

Fr. Fintan touched the lives of so many people with his thoughtfulness, kindness and compassion for those in times of trouble. A wonderful man with a huge heart and great sense of humour. We will miss him deeply and feel blessed to have known him. Rest in peace Fr. Fintan, our prayers are with you and your family at this time.

Father Fintan & Isabelle Haran

So many happy memories of a dear friend and priest may you rest in peace.

Fr. Fintan will be missed in so many different ways.
He touched so many peoples’ lives and brightened up their days.
Your work in Acton completed and your work on earth now done,
Gad has called you home to Heaven with Mary and Jesus her son
I shall miss your after mass chats to us after reading or helping at the altar to give the Sacraments . Your jokes and funny stories . So pleased that I was able to hand over my card and gift to you after Christmas Eve Mass. . Little did I know that your kind words ” No hugs allowed this year Beryl ” would be the last words we exchanged. . Thank you for being there for me in all my sad and glad times. . You will be missed by so many. Thank you for being ..well just you.

Little did I know that when we last spoke on Christmas Day that it would be the last time I would see you. Less than two weeks later you were taken from us and now you reside in our heavenly home. Though such loss is always sad for us who are left behind I am happy for you. I will always remember you fondly. RIP Fintan

Praying for Father Fintan , my friend in church, on the street and on social media. May he Rest In Peace

A lovely kind and thoughtful man who will be missed by so many people who knew him. Rest in peace.

Father Fintan, you were always so kind & helpful to me.
So many memories … but here are 2…
I remember you often called me ‘Martha’ because when the Parish held ‘bring & share’ celebrations I would often be found condensing the food onto fewer & fewer plates.
When my eldest Granddaughter made her 1st Reconciliation at Holy Cross you dealt very sensitively with her younger sister who insisted on coming up to you with her sister.

I will never forget Father Fintan as he made me welcome from the first day I met him. He was full of jokes & stories that put a smile on everyone’s face. He took an interest in everyone’s life….mine being talking about my home town….especially Newcastle United. He always asked about my health & prayed for me. He will be such a miss. R.I.P. & God Bless X

Fr Fintan has an incredibly kind, sweet and compassionate gentleman.
He came to visit our family home and blessed our home. He spent talking with with us and sharing his travelling experience with us. After our fathr, John passed away he showed just kind support and the parish to our family. We will miss seeing his smiling face at the parish. Rest in peace Father Fintan.

Father Fintan you always made me feel welcome the first time I step in our lady of Lourdes church ,you will truly be missed the church would not be the same without you Resr in Peace Father

Thank you Fr Fintan. Thank you for being a shining example of a wonderful priest and friend. Thank you for visiting my late mother every week when she was ill and lifting her spirits. Thank you for being a kind, thoughtful, witty friend to all our family. You served your Church, community and humanity with intelligence, grace and joy. Heaven’s gain is our loss. Rest in peace and God bless you Fr Fintan. We miss you. The Bennebri family.

Fr. Fintan sscc as preparations are been organised to bring you home to Ireland; the good Lord is saying to you Welcome Home my good and faithful servant. You have served me well your reward is great as you arrive at the golden gates of my Kingdom. Fr. Fintan you will be sadly missed by so many. May you RIP in the loving arms of Jesus. Kay
