Death of Fr John (Aidan) Mulcahy, O.Carm.

It is with sadness that the Irish Province records the death of Fr John Mulcahy on May 10th, 2010, its oldest member and just a month before his 95th birthday. Born in 1916 in Limerick, Fr John joined the Carmelites and was professed in 1934, and was ordained priest on his 25th birthday in 1941. After a brief time in Terenure College he was appointed to the Carmelite Community in Moate where he was to spend the rest of his life and more than 60 years of priestly ministry. Fr John, who had a tremendous love for the Irish language, became a much–loved and well known figure in Moate and its surrounding area where he was a valued confessor. Ar dheis Dei go raibh a anam.
