Fr Patrick O'Connor (Hallam) RIP

Address: St Mary's Catholic Church, Bungalow Road New Edlington South Yorkshire DN12 1DL
Email: sacredheartandstmary@gmail.com

10th October 1940 – 18th June 2023

Fr Patrick O’Connor

Honorary Chaplain of the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes

Pilgrimage Director 2008-2016

Retired Parish Priest of Balby & Edlington

Former parish priest of St Theresa’s, Sheffield

We are sad to announce that Fr Pat O’Connor died Sunday 18th June 2023, shortly after receiving the sacraments and praying the Glorious mysteries. Fr Pat was Pilgrimage Director from 2008 to 2016, and has been part of our pilgrimage family for over 30 years as a dedicated Chaplain & Hotel Co-ordinator. He was appointed an Honorary Chaplain of the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes by the Bishop of Tarbes & Lourdes in recognition of his contribution to the shrine. When we couldn’t travel to Lourdes in 2020, and couldn’t even gather together in Church, we had a “Virtual Pilgrimage”. Fr Pat loved the Torchlight Procession, so there was only one person to ask to lead that, recorded by Zoom.

May he rest in peace, and rise in glory.
