With great sadness we announce the death of our Capuchin confrere, Br. Padráig O'Cuill OFM Cap. Br Padráig joined the Capuchin Order in 1957 and was ordained to the Priesthood in 1967. During his years as a Capuchin Friar, Padráig ministered as an Irish language teacher, hospital chaplain and chaplain to Dublin Port and Docks. For many years he served as the Archivist for the Irish Capuchin Province.
Br. Padráig died peacefully in Beaumont Hospital this morning (04/02/2026) following a short illness. Padráig was a kind, helpful and cheerful man who often caused howls of laughter with his quick wit and razor sharp sense of humour. He will be very much missed in the Capuchin Friary Raheny and beyond.
