Christmas Greeting from Brother Adrian Curran, Capuchin Provincial Minister
“The fact that Christmas is almost upon us reminds us of the way in which God entered the world: born of the Virgin Mary like all children, wrapped in swaddling clothes, picked up, nursed. Not only him, but his mother and Joseph had to contend with the fact that there was no room for them…

Christmas Schedule in Kilkenny
Below is the Christmas schedule for our Friary in Kilkenny.
This evening we received the remains of Brother Kevin back to St Mary of the Angels, Capuchin Friary Church Street.
In his words this evening, Capuchin Provincial Minister, Br Richard Hendrick, stressed that for Brother Kevin, 'Brother wasn't merely a title but rather a mission'. Brother Kevin lived this Capuchin mission to the best of his ability in all he did. He was indeed a man of the people but more fundamentally, he was a man of deep prayer who spent long hours deep in prayer before the Blessed Sacrament each day. His understanding of his own humanity allowed him to connect deeply with the human experience of others, no matter what that experience might be. As a result, he had the ability to see whoever stood before him as brother or sister.
Br Kevin will lie in repose tomorrow (Friday, 3rd of July) from 8.30am ending with solemn vespers at 6pm. Requiem Mass takes place on Saturday morning at 11am followed by burial to the Capuchin plot in Dardistown Cemetery. The Mass will be livestreamed on www.memoriallane.ie/livestream ...
