Noel Meade, an Irish Dominican, died this morning in Galway.
Noel was born in Limerick in December 1942. When he was nine the family moved to Dublin, where he attended Coláiste Mhuire, secondary school, which at the time was situated in Parnell Square, close to St Saviour's Dominican Priory.
He made his profession in the Dominican Order in September 1961 and was ordained a priest in July 1967.
He was one of a group of Irish Dominican students, who studied theology in the United States.
Noel spent over 30 years working with Dominicans in South America, ministering in Argentina, Paraguay, Peru and Uruguay.
Along with working in parishes, he concentrated much of his energies on giving weekend retreats. He also gave catechetical courses to people with disabilities.
In recent years he has suffered ill-health. Just some few weeks ago, on his discharge from hospital, he helped out at the Dominican priory in Limerick, where he linked up with Jordan O'Brien. Both men worked together in Argentina.
Two years ago he worked as a simultaneous interpreter at a conference of North European Dominicans in Mainz, Germany.
