Paddy Cullen died this morning in a nursing home in County Wexford.
Paddy, known in the Dominican Order as Fr Francis Cullen, left the Irish Province and ministry some short few years after priestly ordination.
Paddy was a wonderful human being, holy and ever so clever.
Obituary to follow.

Thank you, Michael, for letting us know about Frankie's departure from this world. It would be an easy transition for him as he already had a mystical disposition from his earliest days in the Order. As our liturgy taught us: vita mutatur non tollitur. I was in the same group as Frankie joining 1959 and ordained in 1966. He and I remained together in Tallaght while the rest of the group headed elsewhere for the last year of studies (1966-1967). Your obituary is a wonderful tribute to his life's work and is an very accurate portrait of his sanctitude and his authentic humanity and kindness. It was a privilege to have known him and to have lived in community with him for the eight very special years of formation. His edifying ways were very much part of that formation for me. May he rest in peace.
