IN MEMORIAM: DAVID T. MORRIS
It is with heavy hearts that we extend our heartfelt condolences to the family of the late Dave Morris. A cherished member of our parish, Dave made countless contributions over the years that enriched our community in immeasurable ways. His dedicated involvement in mass readings showcased his deep faith and commitment to the church. Dave also played an integral role in the Fr Matthew Players, New Inn Tidy Towns and the Rockwell Music Academy, fostering a spirit of collaboration and creativity. Additionally, his participation in Fianna Fáil politics demonstrated his passion for making a difference in our community. Dave’s unwavering courtesy and infectious good humour left a lasting impact on all who had the privilege of knowing him. He will be deeply missed by our parish and beyond. Our thoughts and prayers are with his beloved wife Rose, daughter Paula, son Rónán, and their families during this difficult time. May his memory be a source of comfort and inspiration to us all.
